Recovery courts must work with community-based providers to support participants needing treatment services in the community. However, few empirically supported strategies for establishing and sustaining collaborations exist between Recovery Courts and providers. Here we will discuss a pilot study from three Massachusetts courts that sought to improve access to treatment by using different implementation strategies to increase partnerships with providers. We will also discuss findings about how community-based providers view treatment courts and the impact of their experience with recovery court staff on their willingness to collaborate. We will offer recommendations for reducing barriers to effective and sustainable inter-agency partnerships.
