Outpatient Direct Initiation of Injectable Buprenorphine in a Harm Reduction Agency and Primary Care Clinic: A Retrospective Case Series
Journal of Addiction Medicine
Initiating weekly long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) without prior sublingual buprenorphine (“direct-to-inject” or DTI) may reduce buprenorphine initiation barriers. In this case series, outpatient DTI outcomes are described. Of the 23 patients with available data, 19 (83%) had no withdrawal symptoms pre-DTI. Of the 20 patients with documented post-DTI withdrawal symptoms, 3 (15%) had no withdrawal, 12 (60%) had mild, 4 (20%) had moderate, and one (5%) patient had severe withdrawal. Thirty days post-DTI, 14 (58%) patients were retained on any buprenorphine formulation, and 11 (46%) patients were retained at 90 days. The median post-DTI buprenorphine treatment days were 77 (range: 9–90). The majority of patients had no pre-DTI withdrawal symptoms, no or mild withdrawal symptoms post-DTI, and were retained on buprenorphine at 30 days post-DTI, with nearly half retained at 90 days. DTI is a promising buprenorphine initiation strategy, but further research is warranted.
