Jail Reentry for People with Substance Use Disorders Part 2: Creating a Continuum of Care
This webinar is part of a three-part webinar series. To watch Part 1 and Part 3 of the series follow the links below:
- Webinar: Jail Reentry for People with Substance Use Disorders Part 1: Meeting Immediate Needs
- Webinar: Jail Reentry for People with Substance Use Disorder Part 3: Sharing and Using Data
County jail staff are partnering with local health and behavioral health providers and community-based organizations to ensure that people who are receiving treatment in jail and continue to have access to treatment and services when they return to the community. Reentry from jail is a pivotal point in the justice process for individuals returning to the community who have substance use disorders (SUD); this is especially true in times of instability like the current COVID-19 pandemic. Creating a robust continuum of care for people leaving jails can reduce the likelihood relapsing, experiencing a behavioral health crisis or return to the justice system.
Join NACo for part two in a series on supporting people with SUD leaving jail. Presenters will discuss strategies counties can use to partner with community-based providers to ensure seamless connections to care when people are released from jail.
