With funding from the California Health Care Foundation, Health Management Associates created the following video to capture the thoughts and feelings of various stakeholders in the criminal justice system about treating Opioid Use Disorder with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). It includes comments from two clients who received MAT through the criminal justice system. The parties interviewed are all involved in a project HMA is administering to coach teams from 29 counties to expand access to at least two forms of MAT in jails and drug courts.
