Setting
Frequent addiction treatment staff turnover can be a challenge, though supportive leadership and the integration into existing workflows can facilitate implementation of Motivational Interviewing for Opioid Use Disorder (MI-OUD).
Barriers
Staff turnover in addiction treatment programs makes it challenging to keep staff up-to-date with the training and fidelity monitoring required to deliver MI-OUD.
MI-OUD should ideally be offered in settings that deliver medication for opioid use disorder. Providers in such settings have noted that it can be challenging to find private space to deliver behavioral interventions such as MI-OUD.
Facilitators
MI-OUD can be delivered by a variety of providers and can be easily integrated into existing clinical encounters.
Leadership support for the implementation of MI-OUD can help ensure appropriate resource allocation for training, foster a positive culture, and overcome hurdles associated with adopting a new technique.
