This session will detail a jail-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program developed through collaboration among the sheriff's office, behavioral/public health departments, and justice support services. By breaking down agency silos, medical staff engaged individuals upon jail entry for voluntary participation. Participants received an initial naltrexone dose in custody, with follow-up doses provided postrelease to support reentry.

• Evaluate the importance of voluntary participation in a criminal justice system MAT program
• Apply reentry concepts for those suffering from substance use disorder and returning to the community
• Describe jurisdiction-specific policies for starting a jail-based MAT program
