2. Presentation of the site
Mission:
The mission of this site is to provide a simple to use directory of doctors and treatment centers specializing in the treatment of opioid addiction recovery with the use of buprenorphine.

For the collaborative platform:

The site Buprenorphine-Doctors.com was created in my spare time to act as a way for people to connect with doctors in their state and city that were able to prescribe buprenorphine. (...) I decided to expand the site to include this forum in hopes to build another resource that people find helpful by providing a support system of others going through the same struggles. The site is not intended, nor qualified to provide any medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. But what I hope if can provide is a place to share stories, experiences, and support.
