Objective
We describe methadone and BUP/NX titration patterns and their associations with treatment outcomes among individuals with a prescription-type opioid use disorder (OUD).
Findings/Key points
Sustained methadone dose titration, when indicated, may help increase retention, whereas faster dose titration for methadone may help decrease opioid use.
Design/methods
We used data from a 24-week open-label, multicenter randomized controlled trial, including N = 167 participants aged 18–64 years old with prescription-type OUD who received at least a first dose of treatment
