Bias and stigma also influence who gets access to buprenorphine. Doctors are 35 times more likely to prescribe it to white people than to black people.
This even though overdoses among black people are rising faster than overdoses among white people.

1. Today, that gap is shrinking. White opioid overdoses are leveling o , and Black overdoses are rising sharply. In 2019, accidental drug overdoses returned to their old pattern, with Black people dying at a rising rate, and at the same rate as white people, for the rst time since 2002, because with OxyContin nally regulated, most accidental overdoses now come from illegal, not prescription, opioids. But stigma has not changed as an arbiter of accidents. Doctors prescribe buprenorphine, which lowers the risk and rate of accidental overdose by managing the urge for the drug, almost exclusively to white people. Researchers investigated some 13 million doctor visits between 2012 and 2015 and found a surge of physicians prescribing the medication to white people and no change in the number of prescriptions for Black people. Even while Black overdoses are rising faster than white ones, doctors are thirty- ve times more likely to prescribe buprenorphine to white people. Buprenorphine is better than methadone because it doesn’t require daily visits to a clinic—but that only helps if you’re white enough to get a prescription. For Black people without a prescription, there is the risk of the accidental overdose or the daily burden of the methadone clinic. As a result, white opioid use has begun to taper, while the crisis for Black people rises at a disproportionate rate. In accidents, stigmas stack up, and race trumps them all.
