Abstract
Background: Since its U.S. FDA approval in 2002, buprenorphine has been available for maintenance
treatment of opiate dependence in primary care physicians' offices. Though buprenorphine was intended to facilitate access to treatment, disparities in utilization have emerged; while buprenorphine treatment is widely used in private care setting, public healthcare integration of buprenorphine lags behind.
