The OUD Cascade of Care: Tailoring Pathways for Buprenorphine Treatment (On-Demand)-Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video presentation titled "The OUD Cascade of Care Tailoring Pathways for Buprenorphine Treatment," Dr. Arthur Robin Williams discusses the importance of tailoring care pathways for patients receiving buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). He highlights the significance of early engagement in treatment, the impact of buprenorphine use at treatment entry on retention, and the predictive value of sustained opioid cessation for long-term retention. Dr. Williams emphasizes the need to identify higher-risk patients and provide enhanced services, such as higher buprenorphine dosing and care coordination. At the six-month mark in care, patients who have achieved opioid cessation are more likely to stay in treatment, and streamlined care should be prioritized for these individuals. Contingency management and adjunctive medications may also be beneficial in supporting patients' treatment journeys. Dr. Williams stresses the importance of personalized care tailored to individual risk profiles to optimize treatment outcomes for patients with OUD.
