Situational confidence and recovery capital among justice-involved adults receiving medications for opioid use disorder in a jail-based setting
Recovery capital is a strong predictor of situational confidence among justice-involved individuals receiving MOUD. Interventions that enhance recovery capital, including access to employment, housing, and social support, integrate mental health care, and provide tailored support for marginalized subgroups, may improve recovery outcomes during incarceration and reentry. Brief, validated tools like the BSCQ and BARC-10 may help identify individuals at greater relapse risk and guide more targeted, equity-informed reentry planning.
