L’objectif

The purpose of the current study is to elicit patients' perspectives on challenges to transition to treatment, including medications for OUD (MOUD), after detox and potential solutions.

Constatations/points à retenir

Patients identified lack of continuity of care, especially care coordination, as a major barrier to substance use treatment. Increasing treatment utilization, including MOUD, necessitates a multimodal approach to continuity of care, low-barrier access to MOUD, and support to address unstable housing. Patients want care that incorporates options and respect for individualized preferences and needs.
