The module helps you understand how to collaborate effectively with both healthcare and non-healthcare staff by clarifying the roles of all stakeholders involved in comprehensive care. You also examine key ethical considerations and the value of an interdisciplinary approach to assessment, treatment, and continuity of care upon reentry. As you apply these skills in your practice, remember that providing effective, compassionate care for incarcerated individuals with AUD can lead to meaningful and lasting improvements in their health and rehabilitation.
