The Time2Act Missouri Justice System Toolkit aims to help correctional systems, probation and parole agencies, drug courts, law enforcement, reentry organizations, and community supervision programs address the growing overdose crisis affecting justice-involved populations.
During incarceration, an individual’s tolerance to opioids and other substances decreases significantly. If substance use resumes after release, overdose can happen quickly and unexpectedly. Research shows overdose potential can dramatically decrease when individuals receive:
Naloxone education and access
Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD)
Reentry planning and continuity of care
Mental health support
Community treatment partnerships
Recovery support services
The toolkit includes:
Social media graphics
Infographic
Ready-to-share graphics are available to spread awareness online. Below designs can be used for posting to social media and digital channels.
