Figure 1: Approach to the patient with opioid use disorder (OUD) upon intake to a correctional facility.

Figure 1:

Upon intake to a correctional facility, patients suspected of having OUD should undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including medical management of withdrawal symptoms; infectious disease screening; counseling and education; and the formulation of a plan for transition to ongoing care for OUD and its infectious complications. OUD = opioid use disorder; RODS = Rapid Opioid Dependence Screen (28); NSAIDs = non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
