Preventing Opioid Overdose at Reentry through Jail- and Community-based Programs

Formerly incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder are at high risk for death by overdose during the first two weeks after reentering the community. This webinar will cover five critical activities that jail- and community-based programs can engage in to ensure continuity of treatment and the necessary supports to lower the risk of overdose during this transition. Specific program examples around jail-based treatments and healthcare, community-based in-reach activities, and specialized case management will be shared.

This webinar was hosted by the SAMHSA GAINS Center on January 14, 2020. The webinar slides and supplemental resources are now available.
