What factors influence retention in buprenorphine and methadone treatment?

Medication treatments for opioid use disorder are effective lifesaving therapies, and studies suggest that longer treatment durations result in better patient outcomes (e.g., reduced overdose death risk, less use of ambulatory care services). Identifying the factors that best predict retention can ultimately help us develop and roll out strategies to enhance retention. In this study, the researchers examined which factors were the strongest predictors of medication retention in an Australian sample. (Recovery Research Institute, USA, 22.04.2022)
