Summary

This study tested whether offering medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) via telehealth to women in jail helps them start treatment after release. 900 women across 9 Kentucky jails took part. Some also got a peer navigator for support. The goal was to see if these services increase treatment initiation and reduce relapse.
