Improving Outcomes for Individuals on Community-based Supervision with Opioid Use Disorders (OUD)

In 2019, an estimated 1 in 59 adults in the U.S. was under community supervision. Researchers estimate that 60 to 80% of individuals on probation have a substance use disorder. Many people on community supervision who have an opioid use disorder never get the high-quality care needed to recover. There are many reasons for this – logistical barriers, lack of access to evidence-based treatments, stigma… But as a professional working with people on probation/ parole, you can change that.

This 2-hour online course is designed specifically for community supervision officers and community treatment providers working with justice-involved individuals. Whether you’re supervising someone with an OUD under community supervision or providing their treatment, every interaction is an opportunity to achieve better outcomes.
