Perceived need and availability of psychosocial interventions across buprenorphine prescriber specialties.


ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Psychosocial interventions are often recommended as part of buprenorphine treatment for patients with opioid use disorder, but little is known about prescriber perspectives on their use and how this varies across buprenorphine prescriber specialties. METHODS:A large US sample of physicians actively prescribing buprenorphine (n?=?1174) was surveyed from July 2014 to January 2017. Analyses examined prescriber characteristics and their perceptions and use of psychosocial interventions across three groups of physicians: primary care providers (PCPs), addiction physicians/psychiatrists, and other physicians. RESULTS:Across all prescribers, 93.3% (n?=?1061) report most patients would benefit from formal counseling during buprenorphine treatment while only 36.4% (n?=?414) believe there are adequate number of counselors in their communities. Among addiction physicians/psychiatrists, 75.9% (n?=?416) report their treatment settings have the resources to provide psychiatric services to patients with complex psychiatric problems compared to 29.1% (n?=?130) of PCPs and 29.6% (n?=?39, p?
