Seize the Moment: Prioritizing addiction treatment for justice-involved patients

19 Mar 2026, 12:00 pm

CA Bridge: Bridging the Gap

Group of five smiling people of diverse backgrounds standing outdoors beside a van. Text reads 'Bridging the Gap: Seize the Moment' with focus on addiction treatment for justice-involved patients.

 

One in five incarcerations in the U.S. is for a drug-related offense; arrests for drug possession are seven times more likely than arrests for drug sales. Nearly half of justice-involved people have a substance use disorder, yet Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is not standard in many jails and prisons. Only 1% of people with SUD in prisons receive MOUD.

Join us for a conversation with subject matter experts who are providing evidence-based substance use care to incarcerated patients, and learn ways to support patients in their transition to outpatient care upon release.

While we’ve tailored this webinar for clinicians, navigators, and administrators, anyone in the substance use disorder field is welcome to attend.
