B.A Address emerging drug trends including opioid addiction through .Ast the National Drug Court Programs (NADCP) states in Standard VII regarding drug testing, programs must implement frequent and comprehensive drug and alcohol testing requirements to gauge treatment progress and hold them accountable. NADCP's behavior modification models further recommend it reveals the most effective practice is testing twice ay week, including randomi testing. The first need for the court programs begins with the need for enhancing drug testing capabilities with extended panels to identify the participants attempting to mask their current drug usage in all court programs. The extended panels will allow for the proper identification of positive drug tests and violators. Failure toi identify and hold those masking drug usage accountable will create a viral effect amongst the population. Identifying those with positive screens will allow the programs to meet Standard IV focused on Sanction and Therapeutic Adjustments. But to have the capacity to adjust treatment, the programs need to be able to meet the second demand for more and enhanced treatment services. As stated earlier, growth in the population will require more treatment services to meet Standard Vi, requiring court programs to provide complimentary treatment, and Standard V, which provides a continuum of evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders. In addition, court programs are experiencing at trend requiring more individual treatment sessions focused on those who have endured trauma and additional individual treatment to assist in the fight against their addiction with co-occurring disorders. Further exacerbating the need for enhanced treatment services is the growing trend for DUI for drugs requiring more drug testing; these participants require enhanced levels oft treatment with a focus on drug abuse and potential co-occurring disorders. The Rockdale DUI Court is suffering from this trend, with its population approaching 50% charged for DUI with drugs.
