  • Description:
    Millions of Americans are living with opioid use disorder (OUD). Fortunately, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) approved by the Food and Drug Administration can effectively treat OUD, reduce illicit opioid use or prescription opioid misuse, and lower the risk of opioid-related harms, including transmission of viral hepatitis and HIV, overdose, and death.

    Effective linkage to evidence-based care with MOUD is vital for patient health and for public health. This document offers guidance for developing and implementing effective linkage to care strategies for health care professionals and other community leaders in public health, education, criminal justice, social services, business, and government who are striving to increase access and linkage to MOUD.

    Outpatient care programs, hospital departments (including emergency departments), harm reduction and syringe services programs, and criminal justice settings all present opportunities for linkage to care. Each opportunity described in this document is presented alongside established best practices and summaries of current research. Organizations that have developed innovative approaches for linking patients with MOUD are highlighted, offering real-world examples to help guide and inspire action. This document also offers practical advice for providing trauma-informed and culturally appropriate care to certain populations at increased risk of OUD and other opioid-related harms.
