This paper examines the collaboration between general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists in the outpatient management of patients on high-dosage buprenorphine (HDB) treatment. ⋯ Implementation of recommendations on physician-pharmacist collaboration requires additional training in addiction medicine for GPs and the encouragement of their participation in medical networks. On the other hand, increasing the constraints on GPs may negatively affect patients' access to care.
