Reducing recidivism requires more than treatment during incarceration. This session explores the implementation of an evidence-based program that combines in-custody care with medication-assisted treatment and a strong community-based continuum of care. Learn how coordinated services improve continuity, support recovery, and reduce return to custody, while strengthening connections between correctional systems and community providers.

• Apply the Matrix Model for Criminal Justice Settings
• Summarize how clinical internships can strategically support growth of the behavioral health workforce
