BUP-DAP, which stands for the Buprenorphine Drug Assistance Program, is a SOR-funded program designed to increase access to medications that treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Enrolling in this program will allow individuals with OUD who are uninsured and underinsured to have access to vital medications while they are waiting to get enrolled in DC Medicaid or another form of health insurance.
If you, or a loved one, do not have insurance or if your insurance does not cover the medication you need to treat your condition, please reach out to your doctor to sign up for BUP-DAP.
