Examining Experiences of Federal Offenders on Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) During Incarceration in Ontario, Canada: A Pre-Release Report

Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is an effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) as it prevents withdrawal symptoms, reduces cravings, and has been associated with beneficial outcomes such as reductions in illicit drug use and related harms (e.g., overdose, mortality, etc.). To better understand OAT-related experiences and release-related perspectives among federal offenders with OUD, we conducted the current longitudinal mixed-methods study.
