Patient Satisfaction and Resource Utilization Following Introduction of Long-Acting Injectable Buprenorphine (LAIB) in Scottish Prisons

This service evaluation demonstrates high levels of patient satisfaction with LAIB in the prison setting, with minimal disruption to patient comfort or behavior even during treatment transition. Provision of LAIB has reduced healthcare hours required to deliver OAT medication in the Forth Valley prison estate, allowing the reprioritization of some healthcare resources toward other health-promoting goals.
