NCCHC Resources board member, Deana Johnson, JD, authored "The evolution of laws governing access to MAT in corrections" for the Spring 2024 issue of NCCHC's CorrectCare magazine, providing valuable information for correctional facility administrators. Read her full article on NCCHC dot org/publications/correctcare for further essential insights on this topic. If you are struggling to plan and implement a MAT/MOUD program, reach out to us for assistance. We provide: 1. Planning. We collaboratively create an implementation plan based on best practices, the scientific evidence base, the NCCHC Standards for Opioid Treatment Programs in Correctional Facilities, and your unique needs. 2. Continuous quality improvement. Our team assists in establishing a plan to evaluate the program, identify opportunities for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of corrective action. 3. Partnership. Our team is available for ongoing consultation to overcome common and unexpected challenges as they arise. 

We are still reflecting on the excellent content from the American Jail Association's (AJA) May conference. One thing was repeatedly made clear: Inability to hire security and medical staff is hindering operations and increasing the risk of adverse health events among those in custody. This is how we can help: 1. Systems assessment. Tackling this issue begins with a full systems assessment to understand how staffing is impacting operations and to identify high-risk areas. 2. Third-party perspective. Employees often feel comfortable discussing their authentic thoughts and opinions with our consultants, allowing us to provide a complete understanding of what is, and what is not, working. 3. Experience. Our consultants collectively have decades of correctional health care and security staff experience. Reach out to us to learn more.
