Abstract

ABSTRACT Medication-assisted treatment program clinicians work with challenging clients and deliver valuable, life changing services to those with opioid use and misuse. However, there is a paucity of research into this population’s experiences. Eight Texas providers were interviewed using a series of open ended questions. Data was analyzed using investigator triangulation to ascertain and affirm common themes. Themes included the value of medication-assisted treatment and improved quality of life, client complexity, and challenges within medication-assisted treatment programs, as well as the significance of treating the client as a person. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
