USA. Hamilton County, OH Advances Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Jail

In Hamilton County, Ohio, 76% of the people who overdosed in 2021 had a history of incarceration at the Hamilton County Justice Center (HCJC), the county jail. In response to this, the HCJC launched a medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) program, with input from the HCS Intervention Design Team, technical experts, and input from other jurisdictions with MOUD programs, including Kenton County, KY jail and Cuyahoga County, OH jail.
