FREE! Systemic Medication-Assisted Treatment Planning in Corrections
Made possible by an independent grant from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals to the NCCHC Foundation
Live Broadcast: Thursday, August 21, 2025 at 11 am - 12 pm Central Time
The opioid epidemic continues to present significant challenges for correctional facilities, including limited access to addiction treatment, heightened risk of overdose, and increased institutional violence. Implementing and expanding medication-assisted treatment programs in jails and prisons is a proven strategy to address these issues, reduce recidivism, and support successful reentry. This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of MAT planning, program design, workforce training, treatment delivery, reentry coordination, program evaluation, and long-term sustainability.
Learning Objectives
-Identify common obstacles to implementing MAT programs in correctional settings and strategies for overcoming resistance
-Describe the roles of health care staff, custody personnel, and incarcerated peers in the delivery and support of MAT programs
-Discuss best practices for MAT program design, implementation, and ensuring continuity of care after release
