  4. The Title The Hat Trick of Substance Abuse Recovery Hat trick From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A hat trick in sports is the achievement of a positive feat three times or more during a game, or other achievements based on threes. The term was first used in 1858 in cricket to describe HH Stephenson's feat of taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. A collection was held for Stephenson, and he was presented with a hat bought with the proceeds.[1] The term was used in print for the first time in 1878.[2] The term was eventually adopted by many other sports including football (soccer), water polo, and team handball, but did not become popular in North America until the mid-1940s in the National Hockey League

  5. The Brass Tacks Marc and Chad work primarily with youth and young adults Marc and Chad’s PowerPoint is to aid discussion Marc and Chad‘s goal today is to help participants think of new ways to expand and enhance services Marc and Chad – albeit clever and witty – may not have the answer to your questions, but will do their best to get you what you need

  8. The Obvious Teens are Different • Their social system is different • Their Brain functioning is different • The way they are wired • Responding to stress • Risk-taking behaviors

  9. The Clubhouse Our Clubhouse is a family-centered, recovery support program that helps youth and young adults overcome drug and alcohol challenges. Our goal is to help youth and young adults understand the motivations behind their decisions and to make better choices, helping them thrive in their community.

  13. The Treatment We use an evidence-based practice known as Seven Challenges. This strategy empowers youth and young adults to make wise, informed decisions about their life and the use of alcohol and drugs. Seven Challenges

  14. The How • Evidence-Based approach—Studies confirm effectiveness • Client-Driven discussions with a treatment facilitator • Focus on decision-making • Discussions based on “7 Challenges” presented by facilitator • Treatment supported by family and individual counseling as needed

  15. The Court We use a community-enhanced drug court model known as Treatment Court. The goal is to blend treatment and recovery supports (Clubhouse) with judicial oversight and sanctions.

  16. The How • Team made up of Judge, Prosecutor, Treatment/Clubhouse representatives, attorneys, Drug court coordinator, Law enforcement officer • Key is effective communication of the team • Client attend Drug court 2-3x/month to review status • Court to encourage positive program performance through positive (rewards) and negative (consequences) reinforcements

  17. The Pitfalls There are always challenges when implementing and sustaining programs. When implementing three programs that must coordinate together, challenges can become exacerbated.

  18. The Opportunities New opportunities to expand and enhance services are out there. Create your vision and strategic plan and go for it. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t - you’re right.” Henry Ford
