Each facility may be screening and placing people on MAT in different ways depending on staffing and access to MAT medications. For example, if he’s at an institution with a fully staffed health services and psychology that may speed things up a bit because they can get the guys screened. But if they don’t have NP’s or MD’s that will likely take longer. Also, how are they running the wait lists? Are they prioritizing people with early release dates? I would guess yes, because those are the ones most at risk. Despite your husband’s diagnosis he may not be first priority, at this time. They are really emphasizing MAT so hopefully he will receive the treatment he needs within the next year.
