Abstract
There are many barriers to accessing opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, especially for rural communities that may be far away from healthcare providers. There is a need for interventions to increase accessibility of OUD treatment. Extended release injectable buprenorphine (Sublocade) provides an option for patients to receive treatment via once a month injections. This could make OUD treatment more accessible to rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged patients by reducing the number of times they would need to travel to the clinic. Our intervention is to create a protocol for prescribing extended release buprenorphine at Family Medicine Hinesburg.
