Funded Activity Summary

People who use heroin commonly spend time in prison. Contact with treatment services after release from prison is important for reducing the risk that released heroin users will return to regular drug use. However, we know that few heroin users enter or are retained in treatment after release from prison. This project aims to examine how opioid pharmacotherapy in prison affects the probability that someone will enter, and stay in, treatment after they are released from prison.
