While current approaches (such as low- and regular-threshold services) may be suited for many OUD treatment entrants, there may be a need to improve the continuum of care between mental health, chronic pain, and addiction services for those characterised by the use of pharmaceutical-type opioids, chronic pain and older age. Overall, the results support further exploring profile-based approaches to care, tailored to subgroups of patients with differing needs or abilities.
