L’objectif
The aim of this study was to explore what it is like to receive depot buprenorphine and to understand the motivations behind why people discontinue.
Constatations/points à retenir
Participants cited 4 key reasons why they decided to discontinue depot buprenorphine:1) feeling forced into the program, 2) experiencing negative side-effects, 3) finding the treatment ineffective, and 4) wanting to stop depot buprenorphine/OAT to use opioids again or feeling ‘cured’ and no longer in need of OAT. Participants were ultimately discussing issues related to clinician-patient power relations, agency and bodily autonomy, and the pursuit of well-being.
