L’objectif
To characterize comparative risks and benefits of methadone versus buprenorphine/naloxone in a contemporary cohort where the unregulated drug supply is dominated by fentanyl.
Constatations/points à retenir
Although treatment retention is higher among methadone recipients, overdose risk is also elevated compared to buprenorphine recipients. Overdose rates in the period following OAT discontinuation were higher than those observed while on treatment, but did not differ significantly by OAT type.
