Poor access to buprenorphine maintenance treatment (BMT) may contribute to illicit buprenorphine use. This study investigated illicit buprenorphine use and barriers to BMT among syringe exchange participants. Computer-based interviews conducted at a New York City harm reduction agency determined: prior buprenorphine use; barriers to BMT; and interest in BMT. Of 102 opioid users, 57 had used illicit buprenorphine and 32 had used prescribed buprenorphine. When illicit buprenorphine users were compared to non-users: barriers to BMT (did not know where to get treatment) were more common (64 vs. 36%, p < 0.01); mean levels of interest in BMT were greater (337 +/- 1.29 vs. 2.80 +/- 134, p = 0.03); and more participants reported themselves likely to initiate treatment (82 vs. 50%, p < 0.01). Illicit buprenorphine users were interested in BMT but did not know where to go for treatment. Addressing barriers to BMT could reduce illicit buprenorphine use. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
