Responding to the Opioid and Overdose Crisis with Innovative Services: The Recovery Community Center Office-Based Opioid Treatment (RCC-OBOT) Model

This is an academic paper that proposes an innovative model to increase initiation of medications in those with opioid use disorder (OUD). Medication treatment would be initiated in recovery community organizations (RCOs), which typically deliver recovery support services. Treatment could begin in two scenarios: after an overdose or through peer outreach or walk-ins to the RCOs. Those initiated on medications would continue to get treatment through the RCO. This is a theoretical model and has yet to be implemented.
