  • Title: Medication-assisted therapy for opioid-dependent incarcerated populations in New Mexico: statewide efforts to increase access.
    Author: Trigg BG, Dickman SL.
    Journal: Subst Abus; 2012; 33(1):76-84. PubMed ID: 22263716.
    Abstract:
    An acute awareness of the profound social and medical costs associated with heroin and opiate addiction in New Mexico has led a group of advocates from public health, state and local governments, corrections, academia, and community activists to collaborate for the purpose of increasing access to medication-assisted therapy (MAT) with buprenorphine and methadone in New Mexico. This paper describes these collaborations, with a focus on the evolution of harm reduction approaches to substance abuse disorders and successful efforts to make MAT available to incarcerated persons.
