About The Study: In contrast to the standard of care, only one in four U.S. adolescent residential addiction treatment facilities offered buprenorphine and one in eight offered buprenorphine for ongoing treatment for opioid use disorder. By comparison, nearly two-thirds of adult residential facilities offer buprenorphine.
