Traditional sanction and incentive models often fail when applied to individuals with substance use disorders because they do not account for relapse, neurobiology, or the realities of behavioral change. This session equips judges with a framework for designing response grids that align with the science of addiction, reinforce engagement in treatment, and support long-term stability. Participants will learn how to calibrate consequences and rewards in ways that drive meaningful behavioral improvement without undermining clinical progress.
