“There’s always somebody that you can identify with”: a qualitative study of patient perspectives on buprenorphine group medical visits
Findings demonstrate that many persons with OUD taking BUP desire assistance with recovery skills, peer support, and learning about the risks and benefits of BUP. Group medical visits can efficiently deliver these services in primary care, but findings also emphasize that group counseling will be best received when voluntary and group members are committed and authentic.
