Corrections staff cite diversion of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) (e.g., buprenorphine) as a reason for not offering treatment with these medications in jails and prisons.

The study also provides guidance to corrections and lawmakers as they consider establishing and expanding MOUD treatment in correctional settings.
