Opioid Use Disorder

The objective of TCN PATHS is to assess whether follow-up care in the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN), which provides OUD treatment and enhanced primary care for people released from incarceration, improves key measures in the opioid treatment cascade after release from jail. TCN programs are unique in that primary care is provided in teams which include a community health worker with a history of incarceration and attend to social needs such as housing, food insecurity and criminal legal system contact in addition with medical needs.
