Purpose

The Jail-based MAT Mentor Site Initiative offers a peer-to-peer learning opportunity for jails interested in providing or enhancing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services for individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs).

  • 2-3 peer-to-peer exchange site visits
  • Policies, procedures, and shared experiences in building a MAT program
  • Technical assistance visits to mentee sites
  • Ongoing assistance, support, and resources during the program period
