The three Clallam County commissioners will be briefed on the suboxone program at the Clallam County jail Monday.
The work session will begin at 9 a.m. in the commissioners’ boardroom (160) at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.
Suboxone is used to treat people who are addicted to heroin or opioid-based medication. It fulfills the physical craving for opioids but doesn’t produce the same feeling of euphoria, officials have said.
The suboxone program at the Clallam County jail was the first medically assisted drug treatment program inside a jail on the West Coast when it began in February 2016.

• A discussion on the county’s structural budget deficit and new revenue options.
