Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve implementation of hospital/clinic methadone in several carceral systems and study the effects of implementation on patient outcomes.

This study has four Aims:

* Evaluate an intervention for carceral staff that will receive individual coaching and group didactic sessions focused on improving adoption and implementation of hospital/clinic methadone. Effects of this intervention will be measured via qualitative interviews and baseline, midpoint and final surveys of participants.
* Apply a trial emulation approach to electronic health records from three prison systems currently using hospital/clinic methadone to evaluate the effect of implementation on the initiation and retention of medications for opioid use disorder treatment.
* Link Medicaid data to electronic health records from one prison system implementing hospital/clinic methadone to examine the effect of implementation on post-release outcomes, including MOUD use and broader healthcare utilization.
* Examine the cost effectiveness and budgetary impact of implementing hospital/clinic methadone.
