Shield Thursdays: July 30, 2026—Beyond Compliance: MAT Access, ADA Considerations, and Continuity of Care in Correctional Settings Legal Exposure, Operational Realities, and Strategies That Work

$49.00

Correctional administrators and law enforcement executives are navigating an increasingly complex legal and operational landscape around substance use disorder treatment — one where the legal obligations are real, the liability exposure is significant, and the operational questions often don't have easy answers.

This Shield Thursdays session cuts through the complexity. Presenter Kathleen Totemoff, Founder and President of iEXIST, LLC, draws on direct experience managing MAT programs and SAMHSA-funded initiatives to help corrections staff understand what the law requires, what good operations look like, and what tools and strategies are available to help their agencies get it right.

In this session you will:

  • Understand the ADA obligations applicable to MAT/MOUD access in correctional settings — and the legal risk created by non-compliant policies

  • Identify the core operational considerations corrections staff must address, including medication security, intake screening, documentation, and continuity of care

  • Learn a pre-release planning approach that reduces post-release overdose risk and return contacts with law enforcement

  • Discover partnership models and technology-enabled tools that support continuity of care and reentry outcomes

Who Should Attend:

This session is designed for chiefs, sheriffs, jail administrators, command staff, internal affairs commanders, and agency counsel.

Presented By:
