The International Opioid Treatment Recovery Initiative (IOTRI) is dedicated to building sustainable, evidence-based addiction treatment systems through strategic partnerships, secure infrastructure, workforce development, and accountable program implementation.
IOTRI works with governments, healthcare institutions, regulators, and donor partners to establish structured Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP), strengthen clinical capacity, develop secure systems, and create scalable treatment frameworks.
The International Opioid Treatment Recovery Initiative (IOTRI) is an international public health initiative committed to advancing addiction treatment and recovery systems globally. We focus on bridging the gap between medication availability and effective treatment delivery by developing structured, compliant, and scalable opioid treatment programs.
To improve access to safe, evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder through global partnerships, clinical innovation, and sustainable program development.
A world where individuals affected by opioid use disorder have access to high-quality, stigma-free, and life-saving treatment.
Compassion, integrity, accountability, collaboration, and innovation guide every partnership, decision, and implementation pathway.
We combine infrastructure, governance, workforce development, monitoring systems, and practical implementation support.
We help build treatment systems that are safe, compliant, scalable, and aligned with public health priorities.
We support the development of structured opioid treatment programs providing medication-assisted treatment, including methadone and buprenorphine, alongside counseling and behavioral health services.
We train physicians, nurses, counselors, administrators, and operational teams to deliver high-quality addiction treatment and recovery services.
We assist in building secure treatment facilities with vaults, medication storage systems, surveillance, controlled access, and operational workflows.
We work with governments and institutions to establish policies, governance frameworks, monitoring systems, and operational standards aligned with international best practices.
IOTRI is actively working in Nigeria to develop a pilot opioid treatment program in collaboration with federal healthcare institutions and national regulatory stakeholders. While methadone availability has been established, critical infrastructure, security systems, and workforce capacity remain limited.
This initiative represents a transformative step toward strengthening Nigeria’s response to opioid use disorder and improving public health outcomes nationwide. The model is designed to support treatment access, public safety, clinical accountability, and long-term sustainability.
By pairing medication availability with infrastructure, training, and operational systems, IOTRI aims to help build a treatment framework that can be adapted and expanded across Nigeria.
Our work is designed to strengthen treatment access, safety, workforce readiness, and long-term system sustainability.
IOTRI collaborates with governments, healthcare institutions, public health organizations, and international donors to design and implement sustainable opioid treatment systems.
IOTRI is actively mobilizing partnerships, technical support, and funding opportunities to establish secure infrastructure, clinical capacity, operational systems, and scalable opioid treatment services in Nigeria and across Africa.
