abstract="Young adults' heightened vulnerability to substance use disorders (SUD) corresponds with their disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system. It is  paramount that the justice system systemically recognize young adults as a group  with distinct developmental needs and align reform efforts with advancements made in  medical and public health fields to better address the needs of justice-involved  young adults with SUD. This article warns against reliance on the justice system for  engaging young adults with SUD in treatment and presents 4 principles that were  developed by a workgroup participating in a longitudinal meeting of experts  sponsored by Boston Medical Center's Grayken Center for Addiction. The goal of the  principles is to support and guide policy and practice initiatives for  developmentally appropriate justice responses to young adults with SUD. The article  also reviews the evidence that underlies these principles and offers policy and  practice considerations for their implementation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
