Jail Health Services currently contracts with an organization to provide methadone continuation medication administration for those coming into jai. Jail Health Services seeks to expand contracted services for methadone continuation treatment, including medication administration for individuals entering the jail who are verified to be receiving methadone treatment in the community.

Service Phase 2 – Methadone initiation non-fixed site During this phase, the Contractor will continue all methadone services from service phase 1, as well as expansion of methadone initiation services for any patient with OUD that are eligible and desiring methadone but not actively enrolled in a community-based OTP & support services (described in section 3.IV). Services will be provided to patients without a fixed med unit at either site. Patient assessments and dosing services will predominately be conducted on patient unit floors or in clinic spaces as available.

Ideally, initiation services would begin in Q1 2027.
