Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorder (SUD), sustain recovery, prevent overdose, and reduce cost. Research shows that MAT is clinically effective. This treatment approach improves patient survival, increases retention in treatment, and decreases illicit opioid use and other criminal activity among people with SUDs.
The backbone of a health care delivery system is comprised of licensed, competent nurses, both registered and practical. Our nursing staff is trained on and guided by established policies and procedures patterned after those of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC). On-site management is provided by a Health Services Administrator who in turn is further supported by a dedicated regional management staff.

Jessica Norton, Director of MAT at PrimeCare Medical, Inc. (pictured with Linda Titus, Senior Access Director Criminal Justice Systems at Indvior), spoke recently at the National Commission on Correctional Health Care conference in Louisville, KY. The well-attended “Ask the Expert” product theater luncheon was on “Expanding Access to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder in Jails and Prisons to Encourage Long-Term Success.”
On December 17th, we were proud to support Justice & Mercy, Inc.’s 17th Annual Whoopie Pie Day luncheon with a $2,500.00 sponsorship.
Justice and mercy are foundational concepts of correctional health care, as they ensure that incarcerated individuals receive fair and compassionate medical services, regardless of their offenses. Justice demands that care meets professional standards and is equally accessible, while mercy emphasizes the dignity and rehabilitation of each person. Together, these principles promote healing, reduce recidivism, and support a more just society by affirming that all people, even those who have committed crimes, deserve humane treatment and the opportunity for positive change.
Our desire is patients receive the same high-quality health care as we would wish for our families, loved-ones, and ourselves, and through our provision of that, our patients will return to their communities as healthier citizens.
