About the event
Reentry into the community from jail or prison can be a critical time, particularly for people experiencing substance use disorders. However, many jails and prisons lack the necessary connections and collaboration with local providers to support continuity of care upon release. This webinar will explore the critical role of community partnerships in supporting individuals receiving medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) within criminal justice settings. Attendees will gain insight into how collaboration between correctional facilities, healthcare providers, and community organizations can enhance continuity of care, reduce recidivism, and support successful reintegration.
