L’objectif
The Ottawa Inner City Health's Managed Opioid Program is the first, to our knowledge, to pair injectable opioid agonist hydromorphone treatment with assisted housing for people experiencing homelessness with severe opioid use disorder (OUD) and injection drug use. We aimed to describe this program and evaluate retention, health, and social wellbeing outcomes.
Constatations/points à retenir
Individuals with severe OUD engaged in injectable hydromorphone treatment and housing showed high retention in care and substantive improvements in patient-centered health and social well-being outcomes.
