In the collective effort to reduce the opioid overdose crisis in North Carolina, MAHEC is providing this course to share best practices in the treatment of opioid use disorders within Criminal Justice-Involved Populations (CJP). The program begins with an overview of the current state of the opioid overdose crisis on both a national and local level, while highlighting data that shows CJP are at the highest risk for overdose death after release from jail or prison. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, from 2000-2015, criminal justice-involved persons in North Carolina released from prison had an overdose rate 40 times higher than the general population.

This presentation outlines how individuals entered into substance use disorders, focusing on CJP, and describes the use of various medication-assisted therapies for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), which aims to address the overdose crisis within CJP. It also reviews the underutilization of MOUD in CJP, and provides instruction on best practices for MOUD treatment in CJP.

MAHEC engages in evaluation activities to better understand the impact of our programs. By registering for this course, you agree that we may use your personal information in evaluative research regarding this program. Any reports published will be de-identified and reported in aggregate format.
