L’objectif

This study examined persons who inject drugs (PWID)'s past opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment histories and their attitudes toward iOAT with hydromorphone.

Constatations/points à retenir

Participants were highly treatment-experienced, and iOAT interest was high regardless of prior OUD treatment. New OUD treatment options, such as iOAT with hydromorphone, would be welcomed by PWID whose OUD has not remitted with conventional treatment as well as other PWID.
