In 2015, Nadeau received the Advocacy award from New Futures and the Wheelok-Nardi award from Greater Manchester Mental health for her work advocating for those with mental health and substance use disorder.
In 2016 she was awarded the Kathleen Taylor Legislator Award from the NH Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling Association. In 2017, Nadeau received the Leadership Award from the New England Association of Drug Court Professionals. Nadeau is currently a board member of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, the New England Association of Drug Court Professionals, and former board member of New Futures, a nonprofit organization that works to reduce substance use disorder.

In 2006, Nadeau spearheaded the effort to open a drug court docket in Rockingham County Superior Court and presided as the drug court judge. At the time, there were three operating drug courts in New Hampshire. Once she became chief justice, Nadeau secured federal funding for drug courts in two additional counties. Under Nadeau’s leadership, a total of 10 drug courts are up and running in New Hampshire.
In 2016, Nadeau worked with legislators to pass legislation for statewide funding of drug court in New Hampshire.
