“…13 Five grantees in different states that included rural areas with overdose and/or OUD prevalence above the national average received funding from AHRQ to implement distinct interventions to expand and evaluate MOUD treatment in rural primary care settings. 14 Approaches across the five sites included various components.

Access to treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural areas within the United States remains a challenge. Providers must complete 8–24 h of training to obtain the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) 2000 waiver to have the legal authority to prescribe buprenorphine for OUD. Over the last 4 years, we executed five dissemination and implementation grants funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to study and address barriers to providing Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment (MOUD), including psychosocial supports, in rural primary care practices in different states. We found that obtaining the DATA 2000 waiver is just one component of meaningful treatment using MOUD, and that the waiver provides a one-time benchmark that often does not address other significant barriers that providers face daily. In this commentary, we summarize our initiatives and the common lessons learned across our grants and offer recommendations on how primary care providers can be better supported to expand access to MOUD in rural America.
