L’objectif

Few persons who initiate MOUD are retained on treatment, thus it is critical to identify factors associated with retention.

Constatations/points à retenir

Adequate dosing of MOUD leads to improved retention on MOUD. Further, persons with high pain interference at baseline had higher odds of retention on MOUD. Both methadone and buprenorphine have analgesic effects, thus those with high pain interference could have dual benefits of MOUD for treating OUD and pain.
