Abstract Individuals with opioid use disorder face barriers accessing first-line pharmacotherapy. Home delivery interventions have been shown to improve medication adherence for other chronic diseases, but the relationship between buprenorphine home and treatment outcomes has not assessed. We evaluated association retention in a feasibility study of adults who initiated telemedicine received one or more prescriptions. described characteristics patients estimated odds attending visit three six months after enrollment as function using logistic regression. The sample consisted 337 following characteristics: mean age 40.8 years (SD 10.1), 51.0% male, 70.9% commercially insured. In first 30 days 6.8% ( n = 23) used delivery. At months, percentages individuals retained among those without were 82.6% 58.9%, respectively (odds ratio [OR]: 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10–9.96). 78.6% 45.5%, (OR: 4.39, CI: 1.19–16.25, 203). Although uptake through pharmacy partner was low within this receiving disorder, its associated increased care at months. Given small size, uptake, limited statistical power, additional research is warranted.
