Medication for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD) Providers’ Experiences with Recovery Courts: Qualitative Study of Individual and Systemic Factors Impacting Interagency Collaboration
While interagency collaboration is essential to ensuring that individuals in recovery courts can access MOUD, providers identify individual- and system-level barriers that impact collaboration with recovery courts. Results from providers mirror findings from recovery court staff that note communication barriers, distrust toward external agencies, and limited resources for active collaboration. Findings highlight areas where implementation strategies to improve collaboration can be targeted to ensure that individuals in recovery courts can access and remain in MOUD treatment.
