Community Supervision and MOUD Toolkit - A free online learning series to help probation officers and treatment providers enhance client recovery during supervision

 

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 including logistical barriers, lack of access to evidence-based treatments, and stigma.

AS A PROFESSIONAL WORKING WITH PEOPLE ON PROBATION / PAROLE, YOU CAN CHANGE THAT.

In 2019, an estimated 1 in 59 adults in the U.S. was under community supervision.

60 to 80% of individuals on probation have a substance use disorder.
