Learning from Lived Experience: Understanding Barriers to Opioid Use Disorder Recovery

This report details the lived experiences of individuals with an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in order to give a better understanding of the barriers to treatment that exist within Massachusetts. A few of the barriers discussed in the report include racially inequitable access to treatment, lack of transitional support, absence of OUD treatment in correctional facilities, and stigma. The authors make recommendations on policy pathways that can minimize these barriers.
