Participants also had the opportunity to develop their own work plans for implementing the use of medications in their programs when they return back home. Topics for the workshops included: 1) the use of medications 2) models of delivery in correctional settings 3) creating buy-in 4) operations 5) diversion 6) linkages to care and 7) community support. Over 230 people, representing 34 states, attended the conference, which featured plenary sessions with leading behavioral health, clinical, justice and corrections experts followed by skills development workshops.
It highlighted RIDOC's model (one of the first states to incorporate MOUD state-wide, offering all three FDA approved medications), as well as other evidence-based delivery models from around the country.
The free, 2.5-day meeting was held from January 28-30, 2020 in Providence, RI. What started as a technical assistance request from the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) became a national conference for department of corrections staff and others in the justice system to learn promising models in implementing Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD).
