About the event
From the landmark Estelle v. Gamble to more recent cases addressing medications for addiction treatment, the care for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) in correctional settings and the imperative for correctional facilities to offer all forms of MOUD have been impacted by the legal landscape. Jails and prisons are faced with the responsibility to ensure that their facility is not only compliant with legal mandates but that it also fully supports the health and recovery of individuals with SUD. Â Â This webinar will explore the legal obligations for providing comprehensive SUD treatment within jails and prisons. Speakers will discuss how a correctional facility can meet legal standards and support the health and recovery of individuals with SUD. Attendees will also be given practical language and talking points for conveying this information to their stakeholders and leadership.
