Summary

This study looked at whether giving buprenorphine treatment directly at syringe exchange programs helps people with opioid addiction more than sending them to a community health center. About 100 syringe exchange participants in New York City took part. The goal was to see if starting treatment on-site leads to more people staying on their medication and reducing HIV risk behaviors.
