Objective

We sought to examine the care experiences of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receiving medication-based treatment (MOUD) in a primary care setting.

Findings/Key points

Patients reported many advantages to receiving primary care–based MOUD treatment. In particular, the flexibility and added support of team-based care along with the convenience of receiving addiction treatment alongside regular medical care were highly valued.
