L’objectif
With recent increases in buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), is buprenorphine misuse increasing in the US?
Constatations/points à retenir
Nearly three-fourths of adults reporting buprenorphine use did not misuse their prescribed buprenorphine in 2019. Among adults with OUD, prevalence of buprenorphine misuse trended downward during the period from 2015 to 2019, and “because I am hooked” and “to relieve physical pain” were the most common motivations for the most recent buprenorphine misuse.
