Substance use disorders are major factors in family court proceedings. Yet the problem of substance use disorders remains largely unaddressed in the nation's family courts. The updated edition of our Benchbook on Substance Use Disorders for Family Courts is an important new work that should be on every family court professional's desk. It provides information regarding best practices, resources, and science and recommends ways that treatment providers, judges, magistrates, attorneys and others in the family court system can work together to address substance use disorders.
