As substance use trends evolve among juveniles and low-level offenders, courts and agencies must adapt their intervention strategies to address emerging risks effectively. This comprehensive guide outlines both commonly abused substances and new threats—ranging from vaping and THC derivatives to opioids, stimulants, and hallucinogens—helping agencies stay informed on the challenges impacting the individuals they serve.
Recognizing what juveniles and low-level offenders may be exposed to allows courts and agencies to implement proactive, evidence-based interventions rather than relying solely on punitive measures. Updating policies and programs to reflect current substance use trends ensures a focus on education, prevention, and rehabilitation over discipline alone.
By incorporating proven courses such as Nicotine 101, Other Drugs, THC 101, and Under the Influence, courts and agencies can equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to make healthier choices—leading to real, lasting change.
