‘It wasn’t to get high; it was just to get by’: experiences of patients who use fentanyl during methadone treatment and opportunities for improving care in Vermont and New Hampshire
This study highlights the importance of leveraging the expertise of patients who use fentanyl while on methadone to co-produce methadone treatment delivery. Findings may help inform the development of interventions to reduce barriers to treatment access and success within rural areas which may be slow to implement policy change.
