About this trial

This exploratory project will assess the acceptability and feasibility of monthly extended-release subcutaneous buprenorphine (BRIXADI; XR-B) to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) among persons in the community receiving care on a mobile pharmacy clinic (MPC).

Participants who are interested in initiating monthly or weekly injections of subcutaneous XR-B (BRIXADI) as a treatment for their OUD will be enrolled in a 6-month study assessing the acceptability and feasibility of receiving XR-B on an MPC.
