New Report: Perspectives on Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Access and Engagement from Rural Family Members and People in Treatment

The Center for Rural Addiction at the University of Vermont conducted interviews with 20 family members in rural Vermont to detail facilitators and barriers to using either medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) or illicit opioids. The report highlighted some of the unmet needs that were discussed by family members of people in treatment. The University of Vermont Center on Rural Addiction is one of three Rural Centers of Excellence on Substance Use Disorders supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP).
