MA OBAT ECHO®: Jail and Prison Health
Boston Medical Center's (BMC) 12-part Massachusetts Office Based Addiction Treatment ECHO® (MA OBAT ECHO®) offers training and support in addiction treatment, with a focus on comprehensive care for patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). The free, case-based tele-mentoring program is designed to increase the capacity of primary care teams to integrate addiction treatment using a multidisciplinary care model.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will have the knowledge to:
- Describe the physical and mental health needs of incarcerated populations, with emphasis on the burden of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions.
- Examine barriers and strategies for supporting individuals with addiction as they transition between jail, prison, and community-based treatment.
