Snapshots to Stories: Building a Complete Picture of Sobriety through Smart Supervision
SESSION INFO
Monday, March 2, 2026
2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Community corrections professionals face a persistent challenge: supervision often relies on fragmented data—isolated test results, check-ins, and reports that capture moments but miss momentum. This session explores how agencies are rethinking sobriety management through Smart Supervision , integrating reliable monitoring and treatment data to form a complete picture of client progress. As more departments transition from point-in-time testing to continuous transdermal monitoring, both clients and case managers benefit from greater consistency, insight, and confidence in outcomes. Attendees will gain field-based insights on how clarity, consistency, and collaboration drive restorative outcomes. Participants will learn how to leverage transdermal-based supervision practices to close testing gaps, enhance accountability, and strengthen community reintegration while improving case management efficiency and supporting client recovery.
