A-4A Implementing Successful Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Program from Jails through Reentry (CE, CME, YCE, CERP) TRACK: Physician/Midlevel Correctional facilities have become ground zero in the battle against the opioid epidemic, with jails and prisons scrambling to identify and respond to opiate intoxication, withdrawal, and dependence. According to SAMHSA, the criminal justice system is the single largest source of referral to the public substance abuse treatment system, with probation and parole treatment admission representing the highest proportion of these referrals. Therefore, implementing a prison to community Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), previously known as MAT, program is not easy. Mental health treatment for incarcerated individuals with Opioid Use Disorder should be provided to assist with compliance of MOUD. One successful approach is what the Louisiana DPS&C achieved in collaborating with two rural jails and local Sheriffs, and how those partnerships have had a ripple effect towards advancement. Learning Objectives : 1. Attendees will recognize necessary components needed to support the implementation of an MOUD program. 2. Attendees will understand the evolving areas of health care that affect the scope of treatment services provided to offenders with an opiate use disorder 3. Attendees will understand how re-entry services are critical to MOUD programs success.

A-4B Ethical Decision in Correctional Health and Mental Health Care (CE, CME, YCE) TRACK: Mental Health This workshop will discuss the application of professional ethical standards within a correctional environment in relation to the APA code of Ethics, in addition to ethical considerations for other treatment disciplines. Knowing and understanding one’s professional ethical standards are necessary for the provision of services. This workshop will discuss the application of professional ethical standards within a correctional environment. Because not every conceivable situation can be covered in the written standards, we will educate and increase awareness of participants through discussion of relevant case examples. Special emphasis will be given to the role of conflict often encountered while providing competent medical and mental health care in a correctional setting. Topics covered will include confidentiality, competence, identifying the “client”, collaboration and relationships, and self-care. Learning Objectives : 1. Discuss respect for offender welfare through knowledge of confidentiality, informed consent, and the right to refuse treatment versus denial of care. 2. Discuss providing responsible care that promotes the well-being of the offender. 3. Describe the role of the multi-disciplinary team in establishing a secure and therapeutic environment; the participant will be able to describe various ways to approach ethical decision making.
