Abstract

Background: There is scant literature examining the everyday experiences of participants involved in opioid replacement therapy ORT programs, the literature is dominated by a focus on access and cost.
Methods: In-depth interviews enabled researchers to conceptualise the meanings that participants attribute to the phenomena of being an ORT program consumer, highlighting the broader social experience.
Results: Results illuminate the perspective of the consumer with the intent to improve the ORT service and develop best practice guidelines.
Conclusion: Stories told by participants are rich and powerful and have the potential to change primary healthcare practice.
