People who are incarcerated are likely to meet criteria for at least one substance use disorder and need access to treatment. Access to such interventions was limited prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and has almost certainly been restricted further due to implementation of procedures intended to stop the spread of the virus. In this brief commentary, we discuss how COVID-19 has revealed the already tenuous access that people who are incarcerated have to behavioral health services, and the pitfalls of reliance on the U.S. carceral system as a response to addiction.
被监禁的人可能符合至少一种物质使用障碍的标准，需要获得治疗。在 COVID-19 大流行之前，这种干预措施的获得受到限制，而且由于实施了旨在阻止病毒传播的程序，这种干预措施的获得肯定进一步受到限制。在这篇简短的评论中，我们讨论了 COVID-19 如何揭示了被监禁者获得行为健康服务的本来就很脆弱的途径，以及依赖美国监禁系统作为应对成瘾的陷阱。
