Objective
Lessons from early adopter programs may benefit clinicians and others looking to offer ED-initiated treatment for OUD.
Findings/Key points
Barriers to implementation include lack of knowledge about treatment options and effectiveness, stigma, community treatment capacity limits, and health insurance and reimbursement policies. Facilitators of success include taking a patient-centered, low-barrier approach, having a passionate champion, a strong structure with health system support, and a relationship with community partners.
