Jail-based approaches to treatment for substance use disorder can be controversial. On one side are those who promote lifelong pharmacologic interventions mandated through the judicial system. On the other are those opposed to providing any controlled substances in corrections.

• Review statistics about opioid use disorder
• Explain the elements of a comprehensive treatment program
• Discuss potential risks and benefits of injectable buprenorphine
