Abstract

The purpose of this project was to gain a deeper understanding on how individuals become mandated to participate substance abuse treatment, who mandates the treatment, and what type of treatment individuals are mandated to attend in the state of Nebraska. This was done by reviewing professional literature on how individuals access substance abuse treatment and criminal justice systems. This was also done by identifying secondary data sources related to substance abuse treatment and conducting informal interviews on mandated substance abuse treatment in Nebraska.
