摘要
Currently, North America is facing a national opioid overdose crisis. Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition requiring varying intensities of treatment. Injectable opioid agonist therapy (iOAT) is an effective, high-intensity treatment option for people who are unsuccessful on conventional oral opioid agonist treatments (eg, methadone, buprenorphine). This case highlights the effectiveness of the provision of iOAT in a low-barrier setting. More specifically, we discuss a patient with severe OUD and untreated HIV infection, who was disengaged from medical care and, consequently, was prescribed iOAT in a supportive housing setting.
