Excerpt

People with opioid use disorder (OUD) released from correctional facilities have a high risk of fatal opioid overdose.1 Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) for this population have shown impressive decreases in risk of overdose.2 Yet, analysis of practice uptake persistently has shown low rates of VA MOUD prescribing for veterans with OUD involved in the criminal-legal system.3 It is this gap that Finlay et al.’s insightful qualitative study published in this issue of JGIM addresses.4
