AB  - Incarcerated clients experience high rates of opioid use disorder and overdose. 
      It is critical that opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is provided in correctional 
      facilities. However, few receive OAT due to concerns about diversion, misuse, and 
      safety. Buprenorphine extended-release (BUP-XR), a monthly buprenorphine depot 
      injection, could be especially advantageous in the correctional setting as it can 
      prevent diversion and misuse, saving staff resources and time. An injection of 
      BUP-XR is costly compared with a monthly supply of buprenorphine/naloxone 
      (BUP/NX) tablets. We demonstrate that when factoring in the added costs of 
      medication preparation, administration, monitoring, and personnel, it is more 
      economical to provide BUP-XR than BUP/NX. Other facilities, by utilizing our cost 
      breakdown, can determine whether BUP-XR is economically advantageous at their own 
      facility.
