Abstract

The Medication Assisted Recovery (Suboxone) program in Caribou, ME was started in 2004 as a cooperative endeavor by Aroostook County Mental Health Center and "Pines Health Servies". Since its inception, the program has experienced provider attrition. This project aimed to evaluate barriers to becoming and remaining a provider of Opiate Replacement Therapy, and to engage and inform local mid-level providers who will soon be eligible to become providers under the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act passed in July 2016.
