Predictors of buprenorphine treatment success of opioid dependence in two Baltimore City grassroots recovery programs

摘要

IntroductionDespite evidence for the efficacy of buprenorphine treatment in primary care, few studies have identified factors associated with treatment success, nor have such factors been evaluated in community settings. Identifying correlates of treatment success can facilitate the development of treatment models tailored for distinct populations, including low-income communities of color. The current study examined client-level sociodemographic factors associated with treatment success in community-based buprenorphine programs serving vulnerable populations.
