The authors sampled for expanded drug testing of 1,061 urine specimens collected by Maryland Division of Parole and Probation staff. They found an increase in the percentage of individuals testing positive for buprenorphine and found that these specimens often contained other drugs, suggesting misuse. Subsequent interviews with 15 probationers and parolees in Baltimore, Maryland, showed wide-scale availability of buprenorphine on the street and in prisons. Medical examiners and drug testing programs should immediately initiate routine testing for buprenorphine to track a possible outbreak of buprenorphine diversion and misuse. Physician education programs should redouble their efforts to teach strategies to deter diversion and misuse of the drug.
作者对马里兰州缓刑和假释部门工作人员采集的 1061 份尿液样本进行了扩展药物测试。他们发现，检测出丁丙诺啡呈阳性的个体比例有所增加，并且这些样本通常含有其他药物，表明存在滥用情况。随后在马里兰州巴尔的摩对 15 名缓刑犯和假释犯进行的访谈显示，丁丙诺啡在街头和监狱中广泛供应。法医和药物检测计划应立即开始对丁丙诺啡进行常规检测，以跟踪丁丙诺啡可能出现的转移和滥用情况。医生教育计划应加倍努力，教授防止药物转移和滥用的策略。
