Buprenorphine is a safe and evidence-based medication used to treat individuals with opioid use disorder; however, non-prescribed use of buprenorphine can undermine recovery while also marking risk for negative health outcomes. Little is known about relevant predictors, particularly among incarcerated individuals. Authors of this study analyzed data from a sample of incarcerated men and women in addiction treatment to examine predictors of non-prescribed buprenorphine use.
