The risk of overdose for formally incarcerated individuals is exceedingly high post-release from carceral settings. While this risk-related trend is well-recognized, the underlying contributing factors remain varied and less well-understood. As justice-involved individuals attempt to reintegrate into society, they face a myriad of individual and systemic challenges post-release. One of these challenges is discontinuity in essential medical care and behavioral health services, which includes substance use treatment.
A growing body of research continues to demonstrate that initiation and continuation of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in combination with social care reduces the likelihood of overdose and related risks for justice-involved individuals.
This training will provide attendees with an overview of the individual and structural challenges faced by justice-involved individuals and the benefits of MAT and will underscore the critical role that providers in community and outpatient settings can play in the delivery of trauma-informed services and treatment.
