Low-threshold buprenorphine programs seek to reduce barriers that often limit access or reduce retention in care. Nonetheless, these programs have not been implemented at the scale needed. In this webinar, Dr. Banta-Green and others will present novel data on outcomes achieved after implementing low-threshold buprenorphine in community-based and harm reduction settings and address challenges encountered. Additionally, local and federal policymakers will discuss how they plan to support such programs to address the unmet need of people with opioid use disorder.
