Purpose: The purpose of this project is to establish and evaluate a Pharmacist-Physician-Peer Recovery Coach (P3) collaborative model within community pharmacies in Washington, DC, to expand access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). By training pharmacy personnel, leveraging collaborative practice agreements, and integrating peer recovery support, the project seeks to reduce barriers to treatment, decrease stigma, and improve retention in care for patients with opioid use disorder, particularly in underserved communities disproportionately impacted by the opioid crisis

Presentation

Presenters: Jeffrey Bratberg

Institution: University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy

Purpose: People who seek buprenorphine for opioid use disorder(OUD) are unable to access it due to geographic, societal, financial, and policy barriers. Long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) formulations are administered in a limited number of emergency departments, carceral, and outpatient care settings. Community pharmacies are low-barrier locations for starting and maintaining people on buprenorphine. Collaborative addiction care models have shown that pharmacists, providers, and patients benefit from convenient locations, enhanced communication, and increased opportunities to connect to other services. Even though all buprenorphine formulations can be prescribed from any DEA-registered provider, pharmacists and their patients with OUD face uncertainty in initiating and maintaining access to LAIB due to pharmacy policy barriers. To expand access to buprenorphine, it’s important to collect and analyze state laws and regulations on LAIB administration by pharmacists.

Presenters: Jeffrey Bratberg

Institution: University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy

Purpose: Methadone, a medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), is an underutilized intervention in the US response to the overdose crisis. Under federal law, opioid treatment programs (OTPs) can partner with pharmacies to operate a medication unit that dispenses methadone for OUD in the community pharmacy. Changes to federal law or regulations allowing prescription methadone for OUD could further expand methadone pharmacy access.
