Barnstable county sheriff's office - expanded mat program - the barnstable county sheriff's office (bsco) will build upon its established vivitrol-only medication-assisted treatment (mat) program to offer an expanded mat (e-mat) program that includes buprenorphine, methadone, and vivitrol along with a range of recovery services, including RE-entry planning, case management, and recovery coaching. E-mat will target inmates with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the barnstable county correctional facility (bccf). Project goals include implementing e-mat by providing case management, individual and group counseling, RE-entry planning, and recovery coaching to 362 pre-sentenced and sentenced inmates before and after their release to the community; reducing opioid use rates among sentenced and pre-trial e-mat program participants through evidence-based interventions such as interactive journaling, critical time intervention (CTI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI); reducing adverse outcomes related to opioid use disorder for justice-involved individuals in the community; and improving ease of access and increase retention in community-based services for justice-involved individuals. Bsco will collaborate with providers to ensure mat participants have access to services upon reentry to the community; such partners include the duffy center, community health center of cape COD, outer cape health services, pier recovery center, falmouth human services, we can, and recovery connection center. For e-mat, bcso will partner with advocates for human potential (AHP) to design and lead the performance assessment and evaluation. AHP has served as the local or cross-site evaluator for dozens of samhsa projects, most focused on SUD, mat/other treatment services, and justice-involved populations.
