Introductory Paragraph

This objective focuses specifically on improving the transition back into society for people with an SUD who have spent time incarcerated.  People who are returning to society are at a high risk to overdose and die because their tolerance to opioids is lower and taking the amount of opioids they have previously taken can lead to overdose and death. There are many steps that should be taken to help people move foreward with successful recovery rather than returning to using opioids and the higher chance of overdose.

  • More than 50 percent of graduates of many prison treatment programs relapse within 12 months.[1]
  • Upon release from jail or prison, many people with mental or substance use disorders continue to lack access to services and, too often, become enmeshed in a cycle of costly justice system involvement[2]
  • An estimated 10-15 percent of the total state and federal prison population, approximately 200,000 people, are estimated to currently or historically have struggled with opioid dependence or abuse.[3]

Key Information

Individuals with mental and substance use disorders involved with the criminal justice system can face many obstacles after incarceration while reintegrating into society. These obstacles may include challenges with access to health care, relative job skills, education, housing instability, and a lack of connection within the community. The lack of support and obstacles could increase hardships with recovery and facilitate an increased relapse with SUD putting them back into the criminal justice systems.[4]


Potential Benefits

Economic Benefits of People Remaining Substance-Free and Crime-Free after Re-entry

A CASA Columbia report focused on 1996 to 2006 and "found that only 11% of all inmates with addiction received any treatment during their incarceration. The report found that if all inmates who needed treatment and aftercare received such services, the nation would break even in a year if just over 10% remained substance-free, crime-free and employed. Thereafter, for each former inmate who remained substance-free, crime-free and employed, the nation would reap an economic benefit of $90,953 per year."[5]
