Description
Opioid overdose deaths have increased dramatically over the past decade, fueled by the emergence of fentanyl and the rise in cocaine and methamphetamine-related cases. Unfortunately, rates of overdose have risen disproportionately among marginalized individuals including those experiencing housing instability as well as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Individuals experiencing housing instability are less likely to be prescribed buprenorphine and have poorer treatment engagement and outcomes than individuals of higher socioeconomic status. Recent proposed and enacted policies by SAMHSA as well as community and hospital-based interventions to address stigma and facilitate earlier treatment with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) may lower barriers to access. In this session, we will explore disparities in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment access among marginalized and minoritized populations and consider potential interventions.
