Regulations on OAT dispensation, such as licensing requirements and prescribing limits, were key challenges to program implementation and shaped program structure. Dispensing medication required significant staff, time and space. Facilities were further challenged to overcome stigma and concerns about diversion, as OAT medication is often treated as contraband in carceral settings. Some systems deviated from evidence\u2010based treatment by limiting OAT dosage to low levels, requiring counseling for participation and requiring detoxification before medication initiation. Despite these challenges, early adopters felt strongly that other jails and prisons in the United States should provide OAT and that legislation and litigation may soon force OAT expansion in these carceral settings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite identifying regulatory and logistical challenges, early adopters of opioid agonist treatment (OAT) programs in US jails and prisons demonstrate that OAT programs can successfully be implemented in carceral settings with tailoring to the specific context.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/add.15565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,17]],"date-time":"2021-05-17T12:40:09Z","timestamp":1621255209000},"page":"3473-3481","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Methadone and buprenorphine treatment in United States jails and prisons: lessons from early adopters"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"116","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1797-8593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sachini","family":"Bandara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Center for Mental Health and Addiction Policy Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5747-0538","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alene","family":"Kennedy\u2010Hendricks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Mental Health and Addiction Policy Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9183-5166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sydney","family":"Merritt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8211-5036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Colleen L.","family":"Barry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Center for Mental Health and Addiction Policy Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9013-3023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brendan","family":"Saloner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Center for Mental Health and Addiction Policy Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health  Baltimore MD USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2018.0558"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2010.02990.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAF.0b013e3181873784"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-159-9-201311050-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","volume-title":"Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Save Lives [internet]","author":"National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","volume-title":"Guidelines for the psychosocially assisted pharmacological treatment of opioid dependence","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acps.13088"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","unstructured":"National Institute on Drug Abuse.Medications to Treat Opioid Use Disorder Research Report [internet].2018[cited 2021 Mar 17].
