Factors associated with the availability of MOUD in US jails

Summary

This paper reports the main findings of a 2022 JCOIN national survey of substance use services in jails. Fewer than half of jails (43.8%) offered MOUD to at least some individuals and only 12.8% offered MOUD to anyone with an OUD. Jails located in counties with lower social vulnerability scores and shorter average distances to MOUD providers were more likely to offer MOUD.
