L’objectif

We sought to understand the unique facilitators of and barriers to the integration of contraceptive services within the office-based addiction therapy (OBAT) model with a goal to support the design and implementation of a program tailored to meet the reproductive health needs of patients with substance use disorder.

Constatations/points à retenir

Strengths included the destigmatizing and trust-building OBAT approach to care, common use of patient-centered counseling, and providers' nuanced understanding of substance use disorder–specific impacts on reproductive health. Barriers included time constraints, balancing urgent patient recovery needs, the desire for additional contraception provision training, and concern for potential contraceptive coercion.
