Considered the gold standard of care for OUD and repeatedly shown to increase positive health outcomes, medication-assisted treatment has been increasingly offered in correctional settings in recent years. However, challenges arise when implementing and running MAT programs within correctional settings. Based on experiences from across the country, this expert panel will provide an overview of essential MAT program components and explore in-depth strategies to securing buy-in from medical and custody staff, minimizing medication diversion, conducting program evaluation, and overcoming common challenges to becoming an accredited OTP.

$69 ($59 for CCHPs), includes access to the power point presentation, the webinar recording and CE credit – 1.00 hours for ACCME, ANCC, APA, and CCHP.
