Measure
Methadone Plus Patient Navigation
Participants will begin methadone treatment during detention and will have a patient navigator for up to 3 months post-release from detention. Methadone: Interim methadone treatment (methadone without routine counseling) will be provided in jail. Methadone treatment with counseling will be continued in the community. Patient Navigation: A patient navigator will assist the participant for the first three months after release from jail to enter and remain in methadone treatment in the community.
Methadone
Participants will begin methadone during detention. Methadone: Interim methadone treatment (methadone without routine counseling) will be provided in jail. Methadone treatment with counseling will be continued in the community.
Enhanced Treatment as Usual
Participants will receive opioid detoxification during detention, as well as drug abuse education, overdose prevention education, and referral to drug abuse treatment and overdose prevention services in the community. Enhanced Treatment as Usual (ETAU): Participants will receive methadone detoxification, drug abuse and overdose prevention information, drug treatment and overdose prevention referral in the community.

Population: The number analyzed at the follow-up points differ due to missing data (e.g., lost to follow-up, incarcerated individuals who were not drug tested, people interviewed by phone because they no longer lived in the area).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1, 3, 6, and 12 month post-release from incarceration

Population: The number analyzed at the follow-up points differ due to missing data (e.g., lost to follow-up, people who were incarcerated during the 4 weeks prior to the interview).

Self report quality of life as reported by participants following release from their index incarceration on a scale from 1 to 5. A higher score is a better outcome.
