Opioid Use Disorder
Transitions Clinic Network: Post Incarceration Addiction Treatment, Healthcare, and Social Support (TCN PATHS)
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. Currently, TCN PATHS has enrolled 200 participants across its 5 sites and it continues to grow towards its goal.
