This paper examines the first tranche of qualitative findings from participants of Australia's first\u2010ever SIOT trial, the \u2018Feasibility of Opioid Injectable Treatment\u2019 (FOpIT) study. Noting the novelty of both SIOT and hydromorphone within the Australian context, we ask: what motivated people to participate in the trial and what were their early experiences of this new treatment and medication?<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifteen semi\u2010structured, in\u2010depth qualitative interviews were conducted with participants commencing hydromorphone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Almost universally, participants expressed a strong desire for change in their lives, foregrounding their intention to cease or reduce their use of street heroin. For many, the appeal of SIOT was driven by prior, unsatisfactory experiences with standard opioid agonist treatment (methadone, buprenorphine). Early accounts of hydromorphone ranged from favourable comparisons to street heroin to noting its relative shortcomings. Nonetheless, a dominant narrative emerged of reduced or ceased use of street heroin within days of beginning the trial.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Understanding the complexities surrounding SIOT initiation has clear implications for clinical practice, including the potential for improved treatment engagement, retention and outcomes.
