L’objectif

The objective of this study was to review the evidence for SSPs as an entry point for ubstance use disorder (SUD) treatment with particular attention to co-located (onsite) treatment with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).

Constatations/points à retenir

SSPs can successfully refer participants to SUD treatment and deliver onsite buprenorphine treatment. Future studies should explore strategies to optimize the implementation of onsite buprenorphine. Because linkage rates were suboptimal for methadone, offering onsite methadone treatment at SSPs may be an appealing solution, but would require changes in federal regulations. In tandem with continuing to develop onsite treatment capacity, funding should support evidence-based linkage interventions and increasing accessibility, availability, affordability and acceptability of SUD treatment programs.
