Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a treatment regimen for individuals with substance use disorders (SUD), specifically OUD (opiate use disorder) or alcohol use disorder (AUD), that combines medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies. DSD in partnership with DHHA manage a MAT Program for individuals in DSD custody and medication therapies include: the use of buprenorphine for patients in acute opiate withdrawal; the continuation of MAT (buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol, or methadone) for patients with an active prescription in the community; and the induction of MAT (buprenorphine, naltrexone, and Vivitrol) for patients identified with OUD and/or AUD in custody. In addition to MAT medications DHHA also staffs two MAT housing units-one for females and one for males-that offer a Therapeutic Community-like treatment environment for individuals struggling with SUD. Patients housed in the dedicated MAT housing units receive the benefits of group therapy, one to one therapy, and case management.
The grant funding will support the MAT Expansion Program to increase the number of individuals with access to MAT induction while incarcerated at the DDC or COJL, increase the number of individuals receiving therapy, increase intakes or connections to MAT and other clinically indicated SUD treatment after release from DSD custody, increase access to housing, transportation upon release and a coordinated hand-off to providers to continued MAT services in the community.
