Louisiana HB404 establishes a medication-assisted treatment program for substance abuse in jails and prisons.
Louisiana HB404 mandates the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to create a medication-assisted treatment program for inmates with substance abuse disorders. Inmates undergo a medical screening, and those diagnosed with substance abuse disorders are offered placement in the program, which is voluntary. Each inmate collaborates with a specialist to develop an individual treatment plan, including medication type, dosage, and counseling. The program provides a one-week supply of medication to inmates preparing for release to prevent relapse.
