445b Building a Telehealth MOUD Continuum Using The 1115 Waiver
Description

Continuity of care often breaks down during reentry, especially for people receiving treatment for opioid use disorder. This session explores how virtual telehealth medications for opioid use disorder services can connect individuals to screening, discharge planning, follow-up care, and prescription coordination before and after release. Learn how organizations are using 1115 waivers to reduce barriers, strengthen reentry support, and improve continuity of treatment across correctional and community settings.
