This program, administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), funds Pennsylvania counties to implement or expand jail-based Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs for individuals with opioid or alcohol use disorders. The initiative aims to improve treatment during incarceration and ensure continuity of care upon reentry into the community, using FDA-approved medications (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone/Vivitrol) in combination with comprehensive substance use disorder treatment. Counties must collaborate with local and state partners, implement evidence-based practices, maintain robust reporting, and ensure effective project outcomes.
