Overview
Many individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) pass through the criminal justice system over the course of their life. Improved access to high-quality, evidence-based addiction treatment in justice settings will be critical to addressing the opioid crisis. Through the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN), the National Institutes of Health will study approaches to increase high-quality care for people with opioid misuse and OUD in justice populations. The Network will test strategies to expand effective treatment and care in partnership with local and state justice systems and community-based treatment providers.
