DESCRIPTION:Center for Dissemination and Implementation At Stanford (C-DIAS)  Prevention Science & Methodology Group (PSMG) Virtual Grand Rounds  Tuesday\, March 31\, 2026  12:00 – 1:30 PM CT  Charles Neighbors\, MBA\, PhD NYU Grossman School of Medicine  Megan O'Grady\, PhD University of Connecticut  Ashly Jordan\, PhD\, MPH New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports  Yuhua Bao\, PhD Weill Cornell Medicine  Leveraging Regulatory Flexibility for Methadone Take-Home Dosing to Improve Retention in Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder: A Stepped-Wedge Randomized Trial to Facilitate Clinic Level Changes  Methadone is a highly effective medication for treating opioid use disorders (OUD) that is provided in opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Recent federal regulatory changes have relaxed criteria for take-home dosing of methadone\, offering an opportunity to improve the OUD care experience for patients. Implementing more flexible take-home dosing policies and practices in OTPs may help improve treatment access and outcomes. However\, implementation of more flexible take-home dosing in response to federal policy changes has been uneven in OTPs. This stems from multi-level barriers\, such as staff concerns for patient safety\, financial concerns due to changes (or lack thereof) in payment models\, and rigid organizational policies and practices. This presentation will describe a multi-component intervention designed as part of an academic-government partnership to address implementation barriers at multiple levels. We will specifically highlight successes and challenges in using data-based feedback and a financial tool to support OTP implementation of more flexible methadone take-home dosing practices.
