FRI congratulates Drs. Michael Gordon, Thomas Blue, and Frank Vocci for having their article, titled “Extended-release Buprenorphine Induction in Opioid Non-tolerant Incarcerated Individuals,” selected as Editor’s Choice by the Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports (DADR) Associate Editor, Sherry McKee. The Editor stated “treatment for opioid use disorder remains unavailable in most carceral settings in the United States, which is not consistent with standards of care. Untreated opioid use disorder significantly increases risk of mortality and poor outcomes upon release from carceral settings. This study importantly evaluates a regimen for induction to extended-release buprenorphine in a carceral setting.”

Their article will be featured in College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) Spring Newsline Issue and on DADR’s website under: Special Issues and Article Collections. It will also be promoted on DADR’s social media outlets, including https://bsky.app/profile/drugalcreports.bsky.social.
