HARRISBURG, Pa. — Bucks and Montgomery counties each will receive $150,000 in federal funds for medication-assisted treatment at county jails for inmates with opioid use disorder, the Wolf administration announced Tuesday.
The grants are part of a $1.2 million package covering nine Pennsylvania counties’ expansion of services for incarcerated individuals in need of treatment.
Jails will receive funding for use in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy programs aimed at helping inmates in recovery prepare to re-enter the community.
