Strategy ideas and representative quotes.

Strategy ideas	Quotes
Development of a recovery clinic	“An opportunity could be, like, building out a recovery clinic where there are particular mental health providers, nurses, that can team up with community pharmacists that can dispense and provide the injection. I just think it might help to have, you know, streamlined services to specific clinics that might already have a rapport built up for opioid use disorder and have it be sent to those particular pharmacies that are providing those services.” - RPh5
Adding community pharmacists to existing online resources	“I think a good first step is to get in line with the Vivitrol website. I think it’s quite literally just vivitrol.com and you can find a provider. I think [providers] have to manually add themselves to that, so that’d be a really good starting point…getting [community pharmacists] as providers on that website would be a good first step.” - RPh1
Development of an informational website	“Maybe, you know, we do have a website for the case managers and those who are going to be helping connect the dots that states here are all the different, you know, pharmacies that are going to be giving long-acting injections in particular. You know, this is the insurance that they take…I think there could be a website specifically for opioid use disorder.” - RPh1
Development of an informational pamphlet	“We could have a little pamphlet that says, you know, it kind of goes through, you know, what opioids are. But on the front, there’s a little QR code…that brings them to [injectable naltrexone] near me or something along those lines. Or where I can find a pharmacy that carriers [injectable naltrexone] and accepts certain insurance.” - RhP4
Development of a central repository document	“I think there needs to be some type of central repository document. We already know that there are some places offering these services. But being able to see where these services are for, again, the staff that would help with reentry and ultimately that can get them connected to a pharmacy near that person’s home, that would be very helpful.” - RPh5
Pharmacist-led educational meetings with correctional staff	“Maybe setting up meetings with some of the [correctional staff] and just letting them know that this is something that we offer…I think it’s building that rapport and just opening the door and saying, ‘Hey, this is something that we are offering at the pharmacy.’” - RPh4 “Meetings are a great starting point. And I think education really needs to start [within corrections]. If you are looking at this specific patient population of how they are falling through the cracks and how they are winding up back behind bars, I think that is where it starts.” - RPh1 “I feel like we need to give education even further downstream. So, like, the prisons and facilities where those people who are giving the injections or the providers who did prescribe that injection in the prison can be able to then find the resources to connect them to the particular [community pharmacies] they could be. I almost feel like that’s where it should start at first.” - RPh5

Based on discussions of perceived impact and feasibility, the participants ranked pharmacist led educational meetings with correctional staff as the top strategy. The table also highlights representative quotes from the focus group.
