This toolkit is intended to give prescribers a broad overview of medication utilization management techniques and describe ways that prescribers can facilitate patient access to needed medications. It focuses on prescribed medications that are filled by retail pharmacies; it does not cover the processes for methadone or specialty pharmacy products, such as injectable or implantable medications, all of which are commonly covered by a patient’s medical benefit rather than their pharmacy benefit.

A disproportionate number of people in jails have substance use disorders (SUDs).1 Incarceration provides a valuable opportunity for identifying SUD and addressing withdrawal.* Within the first few hours and days of detainment, individuals who have suddenly stopped using alcohol, opioids, or other drugs may experience withdrawal symptoms, particularly when they have used the substances heavily or long-term. Without its identification and timely subsequent medical attention, withdrawal can lead to serious injury or death. Deaths from withdrawal are preventable, and jail administrators have a pressing responsibility to establish and implement withdrawal policy and protocols that will save lives and ensure legal compliance. This brief describes the scope of the challenge, provides an overview of constitutional rights and key legislation related to substance use withdrawal, and outlines steps for creating a comprehensive response to SUD.
