Background and Aims
Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are shown to reduce opioid use and the risk of overdose. People with opioid use disorder (OUD) who exit inpatient medically managed withdrawal programs (detox) without initiating MOUD and linking to outpatient care have high rates of overdose. While detox encounters provide a theoretical opportunity for MOUD initiation, this is not ubiquitous...
Aim
To estimate the number of treatment initiations, averted fatal opioid overdoses and the cost‐effectiveness associated with offering buprenorphine–naloxone (buprenorphine) treatment on‐site within existing syringe service programs (SSPs) in Massachusetts, USA.
Design, Setting and Participants
This was a cohort‐based mathematical model and cost‐effectiveness analysis. We derived model inputs...
