Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of treating opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnant women with extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), compared to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL), on mother and infant outcomes. The primary hypothesis is that the BUP-XR group will not have greater illicit opioid use than the BUP-SL group during pregnancy (non-inferiority).
Detailed Description: This is an intent-to-treat, two-arm, open-label, pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to BUP-XR or BUP-SL, balancing on site, estimated gestational age (EGA) at time of randomization (6 weeks-18 weeks vs. 19 weeks-30 weeks), and whether they are on BUP-SL at the time of randomization (yes vs. no). Participants will be provided with study medication and attend weekly medication visits through 12 months postpartum.
