How to overcome hurdles in opiate substitution treatment? A qualitative study with general practitioners in Belgium [PDF]

European Journal of General Practice, 2016
Opiate substitution treatment (OST) is the administration of opioids (methadone or buprenorphine) under medical supervision for opiate addiction. Several studies indicate a large unmet need for OST in general practice in Antwerp, Belgium. Some hurdles remain before GPs engage in OST prescribing.Formulate recommendations to increase engagement of GPs in
