Recidivism, Recovery, and the Role of Reentry Care

05/02/2025 | DevotedDOc | Suboxone and Recovery

Our goal? To help people stay out of jail and out of danger.

For many people exiting incarceration, the first few weeks of freedom can be the most dangerous. Overdose rates skyrocket. Access to care is limited. And the pressure to “stay clean” often comes without any real medical support.

At DevotedDOC, we believe that addiction care shouldn’t end at the prison gate it should begin the moment someone is ready to reclaim their life. That’s why we work with reentry programs, recovery advocates, and community organizations to deliver Suboxone treatment through secure, real-time telemedicine.

The Link Between OUD and Recidivism

Substance use disorder is one of the most common health issues among incarcerated individuals. But access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in jails and prisons is still inconsistent and in many cases, nonexistent. That means people are released without support, without a prescription, and without a care plan.

The result is predictable: withdrawal, relapse, and rearrest.

But when individuals are connected to MAT during reentry particularly Suboxone the data is clear:

Rearrest rates drop by as much as 32%
Overdose deaths in the first 30 days post-release are cut dramatically
Long-term engagement with care improves across the board
