Ohio and opioid use disorder
Southern Ohio in particular has been at the center of the opioid crisis for two decades.
Ohio has been among the states most severely affected by the opioid epidemic since the late 1990s. Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Scioto County, and the surrounding Southern Ohio region were among the first communities in the country to face prescription opioid addiction at a population scale — and they continue to face disproportionate rates of overdose and limited access to treatment.
The drug supply in Ohio has shifted heavily toward illicit fentanyl, and xylazine has been increasingly detected in the supply in recent years — complicating overdose response and treatment. Buprenorphine remains one of the most effective interventions available, and access to it via telehealth means patients in Scioto County or Pike County have the same same-day option as patients in Columbus.

Ohio-specific question
I've heard Ohio pharmacies sometimes refuse to fill buprenorphine prescriptions. Is that true?
It has been a documented problem in some Ohio communities, particularly in Southern Ohio where pharmacies have at times been reluctant to fill buprenorphine prescriptions due to concerns about diversion or volume. Your physician is aware of this and will work with you to identify a pharmacy in your area that will fill your prescription without issue. If you encounter a problem at one pharmacy, we can help you find an alternative. This is a solvable problem and not a reason to delay starting treatment.
