MAT Funding Opportunities for Jails in Colorado (2024)
This funding brief outlines various funding sources jails utilize to support Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs. It provides examples of how these sources are employed in different regions with different resources. Jails often “braid” or combine multiple funding sources to create a comprehensive and sustainable MAT program. This approach maximizes available resources and addresses the diverse needs of the population served. By integrating state and federal grants, county funds, and miscellaneous grants, jails can build robust programs that support medication management, behavioral health services, and care coordination.

Continuity of Care (CoC) Meetings
The CAM Academy collaborates with the Colorado Consortium, County Sheriffs of Colorado, and the Colorado Jail Association to strengthen connections between local service providers and jail personnel, enhancing continuity of care for individuals transitioning out of custody. This initiative includes a series of regional in-person meetings across the state, fostering collaboration between jail staff and community-based organizations to improve care coordination and support post-release success.
