Substance Use in Correctional Facilities Through a Global Lens

From Custody to Community: Substance Use in Correctional Facilities Through a Global Lens

Substance misuse prevention does not stop at the courthouse door. For many individuals, incarceration is a critical — and often overlooked — point along the prevention continuum. This webinar invites prevention professionals to expand their lens and explore how justice settings intersect with substance misuse risk, recovery, reintegration and long-term community health.

Participants will examine current trends in substance misuse and incarceration, including system gaps and the high prevalence of substance use disorders in correctional settings, among others. We will explore how incarceration can amplify risk and identify practical prevention opportunities before, during, and after incarceration.

The session will also challenge participants to consider how correctional philosophies and system structures shape outcomes.

If your work focuses on reducing substance misuse, overdose, and risks, this session will help you think differently about where prevention truly begins and continues.
