Abstract
This article provides an overview of the diagnosis and management of opioid use disorder and its infectious complications among populations with criminal justice involvement. Opioid use disorder and chronic infections such as human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus are highly prevalent among incarcerated individuals and some of the unique features of correctional facilities present challenges for their appropriate medical management. We outline evidence-based strategies for integrated, patient-centered treatment during incarceration and the potentially hazardous transition back to the community upon release.Entities:
