The meeting strives to reduce overdose deaths, reduce recidivism, & increase engagement in evidence-based OUD treatment by developing a continuum of care for individuals in jail & in the community post-release. Implementing MAT in jails and enhancing collaboration between jails and community providers are required to change the course of the opioid epidemic, but these are not easy tasks for local jurisdictions. The purpose of the project is to help communities take advantage of this opportunity to treat some of their most vulnerable residents with OUDs.
