The rate of recidivism for incarcerated individuals in the United States is 70% within five years of release, with few resources to assist reentering individuals in finding housing, gaining employment or accessing social services. In this webinar, Cameual Wright, MD, MBA, of CareSource Indiana, will discuss the myriad challenges that individuals face when they leave incarceration, how CareSource serves them, and how physicians play a critical role in meeting the complex needs of reentering individuals.

In spite of the extensive evidence supporting the use of medications to treat OUD, there remain major gaps in knowledge about which medication works best and for whom, as well as how the medications compare over the long term. This webinar, led by Michael A. Mitcheff, DO, MBA, CHCQM, corporate medical director of Wexford Health Sources and chief medical officer of Beacon Addiction Medicine LLC, will give physicians and nonphysician practitioners a better understanding of functional outcomes of medication-based treatment for OUD.
