Pharmacist administration of long-acting injectable medications for substance use disorders: A scoping review.

Using long-acting injectable (LAI) medications increases treatment adherence and promotes positive outcomes for patients with substance use disorders (SUD).

With the expansion of pharmacists' scope of practice for medication administration services, there is a need to document and evaluate the benefits of pharmacist engagement in LAI administration services for SUD and identify growth opportunities.
