U.S. Military Veteran Perspectives on Barriers and Facilitators to Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Extending prior research, results underscore the multi-faceted nature of MOUD barriers, which remain even within integrated, addiction-focused clinics, and the need for interventions coordinated across social-ecological levels. Future intervention efforts and research should target patient autonomy and collaborative decision-making, simplification of administrative procedures, care accessibility/convenience, and active anti-stigma practices.
