Updated on 19 February 2024

Summary

The purpose of this qualitative study is to develop insight into how the St. Joseph County (Indiana) drug court can best serve participants who have opioid use disorders. This will be accomplished by facilitating focus groups with two separate samples, drug court participants who have opioid use disorders and key stakeholders. This study is important because the 2016 program evaluation of the St. Joseph County (Indiana) drug court found that participants who had opioid use disorders were less likely to graduate than participants who had other substance use disorders. There are two research questions. First, what are drug court participants?, who have opioid use disorders, perceptions on the most helpful aspects of drug court in treating their opioid use disorders, how the drug court can better meet their individualized needs to support them in graduating, and their lived experiences and/or views on utilizing Medication Assisted Treatments (MATs) to support their recovery? Second, what are drug court stakeholders? views on utilizing MATs in drug court? Due to the qualitative nature of this study, there are not hypotheses.
