Advancing the Implementation and Sustainment of Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders in Prisons and Jails

This is an academic paper that describes the implementation of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in four prisons and jails employing the EPIS (Exploration, Planning, Implementation, and Sustainment) framework.

As the criminal justice system has been historically resistant to MOUD, adoption in prisons and jails can be accomplished but requires persistent effort to identify and overcome challenges and dedicated funding to sustain programs.
