Responding to the opioid and overdose crisis with innovative services: The recovery community center office-based opioid treatment (RCC-OBOT) model.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid-related overdose mortality are major public health concerns in the United States. Recently, several community-based and professional innovations - including hybrid recovery community organizations, peer-based emergency department warm handoff programs, emergency department buprenorphine induction, and low-threshold OUD treatment programs - have emerged or expanded in an effort to address significant obstacles to providing patients the care needed for OUD and to reduce the risk of overdose. Additional innovations are needed to address the crisis.
