Medication for Incarcerated Patients
CompDrug partners with local jails to provide methadone for individuals receiving medication treatment while incarcerated.
Our goal is to help ensure continuity of care and recovery support while a person is in custody.
Franklin County Correction Center and Franklin County Correction Center II
We help individuals continue methadone treatment without interruption.
Guest dosing is provided in compliance with applicable regulations.
How Guest Dosing Works

The Home Clinic completes the online Guest Dosing Form in its entirety and submits all required information.
CompDrug Coordinates with Jail

Medication Order Guidelines
To support medication administration within the correctional setting, Armor Healthcare has requested the following:
- If a patient is on a methadone build-up or taper schedule, dose changes should occur weekly whenever clinically appropriate.
- All dose change orders should be scheduled to begin on a Thursday.
- Armor Healthcare prefers patients to receive one dose daily rather than split dosing whenever possible.
- CompDrug is only able to dispense methadone in whole-number milligram amounts. Please ensure dose orders are written accordingly.
