Abstract
Women in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder are at high risk of unintended pregnancy, yet contraceptive use is low and use of less effective methods is common. Women in MAT may benefit from efforts to increase knowledge about implants and assuage concerns about their insertion and removal as well as more general efforts to improve knowledge about the relative efficacy of LARCs. Many women in MAT endorsed unspecified “other reasons” for not using LARCs, which should be explored further.
