Summary
This study tests a staged approach to help addiction treatment programs in Washington State increase their use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Clinics start with simple feedback reports and, if needed, move to more intensive support like workshops and coaching. The goal is to see which combination of strategies works best to get more patients started on and staying with medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone.
