Two Different Buprenorphine Treatment Settings With Similar Retention Rates: Implications for Expanding Access to Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder.

There is considerable need for effective and accessible treatment for opioid use disorder. Our study explored differences in buprenorphine treatment retention and duration, with a focus on selected sociodemographic factors and treatment indicators, in two different settings: an office-based buprenorphine induction and stabilization clinic (OBIC) and a community-based primary care clinic (CPC). This nonexperimental retrospective chart review compared demographic information and buprenorphine treatment details, including treatment retention and duration.
