Overview

This research reveals lower MOUD implementation in specialty addiction treatment programs compared to primary care, suggesting a need for enhanced support.

Key Points

  • SATPs showed lower prescribing practices for medications for opioid use disorder compared to primary care clinics.
  • Evidence indicated that specialty addiction treatment programs were based in counties with higher overdose rates and fewer MOUD prescribers.
  • The study utilized baseline prescribing data from 62 clinics to analyze differences in medication practices for opioid use disorder.
  • Effective strategies for implementation support are needed for specialty settings, which face greater needs and fewer resources.
