The goal of the proposed study is to generate evidence on the acceptability, feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of introducing long-acting depot buprenorphine (LADB) as an additional option for the treatment of opioid dependence in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) among people who inject drugs (PWID) with opioid dependence. The study results will be used to inform global and local policies and guidelines to introduce LADB as a treatment option and to advocate for access to a sustainable supply of LADB in LMIC.
