Jail-Based Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder In the Era of Bail Reform

This academic paper describes a qualitative study analyzing the barriers and facilitators to implementing MOUD treatment in a sample of New Jersey jails. The investigators interviewed and surveyed jail staff and found that MOUD delivery practices varied on a number of factors. This included jails' limited resources and duration of jail stays. However, facilitators and solutions to MOUD delivery issues were also identified.
