Achieving high-coverage and retention in opioid agonist treatment in the community in Spain

Wednesday, 23 October, 2024 - 13:20 to 14:50

Abstract

  • Overview of OAT delivery in Spain and the strategies used to overcome individual, prescriber and policy barriers to offering tailored OAT:
  • Does high coverage mean high choice? To what extent are service users involved in decision making?
  • How does staff to-service-user ratio differ across settings and locations and does this significantly affect retention rates?
  • What does retention look like as service-users shift to long-acting formulations and therefore have less interaction with services?
  • How do cognate harms differ between service-users who are ‘’retained’’ in service and those who are not?
