Background: Chronic pain and non-prescribed substance use are associated with lower retention in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment. We examined the associations of perceived capacity to tolerate uncomfortable physical sensations (discomfort intolerance and discomfort avoidance) and cannabis and alcohol use among persons with chronic pain receiving prescription buprenorphine for OUD.
Methods: This study utilizes baseline data from 163 persons with chronic pain receiving prescription buprenorphine for OUD enrolled in the Treating Opioid use, Persistent Pain, and Sadness (TOPPS) intervention trial.
