Abstract

The EMS-Bupe program data are limited but show important variability. In general, we recommend that programs respond to community needs by establishing relationships with local resources. We also favor protocols that increase patient eligibility and treatment retention. Lastly, programs should consider low-barrier, patient-centered strategies aimed at preventing gaps in treatment.
