MAT Case Management and Aftercare Planning in Corrections

This educational ECHO series is designed to address the growing need for medications for substance use disorders (MOUD) in correctional facilities across the United States. With only a limited number of states offering these life-saving interventions, this series aims to empower correctional systems to adopt and implement MOUD programs effectively. This program is designed to enhance learners' skills in implementing evidence-based MOUD programs within correctional facilities, improve strategies for addressing logistical and systemic barriers, and foster collaboration among healthcare teams.

This program is designed to enhance learners' skills in implementing evidence-based MOUD programs within correctional facilities, improve strategies for addressing logistical and systemic barriers, and foster collaboration among healthcare teams. These changes aim to increase MOUD access, improve patient outcomes, and reduce opioid-related morbidity and mortality in incarcerated populations. It promotes active learning through case-based discussions, interactive Q&A sessions, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. The ECHO model engages participants in real-world problem-solving, fosters collaboration, and encourages applying evidence-based practices to address challenges in implementing and sustaining MOUD programs in correctional settings.
