About Criminal Justice
More than half1 of people in prison have an untreated substance use disorder, and illicit drug and medication use may increase2 following a period of imprisonment. When it involves an untreated opioid use disorder, relapse to drug use can be fatal due to loss of opioid tolerance that may have occurred while the person was incarcerated. NIDA supports research to develop and evaluate treatment programs to help decrease substance use, address barriers to care, and improve outcomes among people in jail and prison systems.
