Are DEA-waivered buprenorphine prescribers colocated with behavioral health clinicians?
CONCLUSIONS: Optimally distributing the workforce providing MOUD is necessary to broadly ensure the provision of comprehensive MOUD care based on practice guidelines.SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Less than half of all waivered prescribers, outside of hospitals, are colocated with behavioral health clinicians. Findings offer greater clarity on where integrated MOUD is occurring, among which types of providers, and where it needs to be expanded to increase MOUD uptake.PMID:37559344 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13462
