This session will explore the health risks associated with incarceration, with a focus on the transition from carceral to community settings among individuals with a history of opioid use disorder. We examine common barriers to care faced after release and highlight strategies to strengthen clinical engagement. Participants will gain practical skills to support more effective, compassionate, and equitable care for individuals with current or past incarceration exposure.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe healthcare delivery in carceral settings and how this structure impacts the health and wellbeing of justice-involved individuals.
  • Identify the health risks related to incarceration exposure.
  • Describe barriers to healthcare engagement among formerly incarcerated individuals.
  • Develop clinical skills to optimize engagement and care delivery for individuals with incarceration exposure.
