This study used semi-structured interviews with Medication for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) patients and treatment providers, as well as people who work for government administrative organizations that oversee MOUD provision, in order to assess the ability of MOUD treatment programs to meet the needs of the current cohort of MOUD patients.
