L’objectif

The aim of our study was to explore points of view of people who use drugs (PWUD) treated with Opioid Medication Therapies (methadone and buprenorphine), in a large multicentre sample.

Constatations/points à retenir

Patient viewpoints on efficacy were correlated with the pharmacological benefits of OMT and with the associated psychosocial measures. The implications of OMT in relationships, such as the feeling of being judged, concerned a majority. Points of view were ambivalent concerning the role of OMT as a treatment or as a drug. Involving patient points of view in therapeutic strategies decisions could help enhance positive views among PWUD on OMT and help PWUD towards their recovery.
