Opioid Addiction Screening and Assessment for People in the Criminal Justice System
Dr. Roger Peters of the University of South Florida reviews available screening and assessment instruments, covers instrument selection, and discusses specific considerations for identifying and assessing people who have opioid addictions. Dr. Peters—along with Jac Charlier and Phillip Barbour of the Center for Health and Justice at Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities—also explains how supplemental screening and assessment questions about opioid use and drugs of choice may assist in the response to the opioid epidemic.
