RE:January 2016: Providing medication (drugs) to inmates

The Pew Charitable Trusts Stateline publication has a series on MAT.  The second covers prison and jail MAT programming. It points out a simple fact: “Most inmates start using drugs again as soon as they’re released. If they don’t die of an overdose, they often end up getting arrested again for drug-related crimes.”  How can we ignore the use of any medication that promises to help?
