Emergency Department–Initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder

JAMA Network

This multicenter randomized study examined if 7-day extended-release injectable buprenorphine compared with sublingual buprenorphine to improve treatment engagement at 7 days. It included 1,994 adult patients presenting to the emergency department with untreated opioid use disorder and a Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) score of 4 or higher. In treatment at 7 days, 40.5% were in the extended-release group and 38.5% were in the sublingual buprenorphine group, demonstrating no significant difference between groups. The study concluded that a 7-day extended-release injectable preparation of buprenorphine does not improve treatment engagement.
