Department of Correction Bureau Chief of Healthcare, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Michael Records presented new initiatives within Delaware correctional facilities to address substance use disorders.
Records says 12-14% of the inmate population participate in medicated assisted treatment (MAT) – the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat opioid use disorders.
