Healio (10/28, Herpen) reported, “The likelihood of retention over six, 12 and 24 months was significantly higher for patients engaged in care for opioid use disorder [OUD], compared with those who were not,” researchers concluded after analyzing “data from electronic health records of a multisite buprenorphine clinic network across eight states from January 2011 through April 2019, to include 19,487 individuals.” The findings were published online Oct. 26 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, a publication of the American Psychiatric Association.
