Article Synopsis
- Opioid overdose deaths have significantly increased in the U.S. from 2012 to 2022, with a large number of individuals having past involvement with the criminal justice system, highlighting a critical need for effective treatment options like Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD).
- WA State has made efforts to improve access to MOUD, particularly for those incarcerated, as they experience high overdose risk upon release, yet there's a lack of strategies to connect jail-based MOUD services with community resources.
- The SAIA-MOUD study aims to enhance MOUD care across jail and community clinics in King County, WA, through a structured implementation approach, ultimately seeking to reduce relapse and death rates among former inmates.
