Fostering MAT Use in Justice Populations

NIATx framework provides each participating site with a NIATx Coach who is an expert in MOUD implementation and organizational change and will help the organization adopt, implement, and increase the use of MOUD. Coaches help the sites think through key issues, offer process improvement training, and suggest changes.

The ECHO model connects MOUD prescribers and experts with primary care providers and medical teams to promote high-quality MOUD practices. ECHO is provided monthly through videoconferences. Experienced MOUD prescribers address topics such as counseling strategies, urine test interpretation, and transitioning from buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone.
