Area of Science:

Public Health
Criminal Justice
Addiction Medicine

Background:

The opioid epidemic necessitates innovative law enforcement responses beyond traditional outreach.
Multilevel barriers impede substance use treatment engagement for overdose survivors.
Existing law enforcement strategies often fail to address the complexities of addiction recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the process and outcomes of a police-led Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program (COAP).
To assess the effectiveness of recovery management teams (RMTs) and recovery management check-ups (RMCs) in connecting survivors to treatment.
To understand how police-led initiatives can overcome barriers to treatment engagement and reduce stigma.

Main Methods:

Mixed-methods approach utilizing quantitative (N=65) and qualitative (N=15) data.
Examination of participant demographics, substance use, mental health, treatment, and criminal justice factors.
Informed by the Recovery Capital Model to analyze program effectiveness.

Main Results:

Recovery management teams successfully connected participants to essential services, including housing and health insurance.
Qualitative data indicated significant improvements in participants' social, community, and personal recovery capital.
The program demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing sustained engagement with substance use treatment.

Conclusions:

Police-led recovery management check-ups can effectively address multilevel barriers to substance use treatment.
These initiatives can minimize law enforcement stigma associated with seeking addiction treatment.
Findings support the expansion of police-led post-overdose interventions for improved public health outcomes.
