Condition: Opioid Use Disorder · Sponsor: Potomac Health Foundations
The United States is experiencing an unprecedented opioid epidemic. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), such as methadone, buprenorphine, and extended-release naltrexone, are the recommended standard of care. There are, however, many barriers to MOUD initiation so that only a minority of individuals who could benefit from MOUD treatment ever receive it. Even among individuals presenting to a residential level of specialty SUD care, only about 20% of individuals with OUD initiate MOUD leaving them at a higher risk of opioid relapse, overdose, and death. Thus, the goal of this expansion of scope pilot study is to address this gap by modifying our currently R34-funded intervention (RFA-DA-22-034; Project # 1R34DA057627-01) that leverages the impact of peer recovery support services (PRSS) to promote MOUD initiation. Although PRSS for MOUD initiation shows promise within emergency department settings, the impact of PRSS for MOUD initiation within residential substance use disorder (SUD) settings is unknown. Residential SUD settings are an ideal opportunity to initiate medications because individuals with OUD typically have access to medically-managed withdrawal and the opportunity to learn about and initiate onto MOUD. This PRSS intervention has already been developed in the R34 parent grant to promote MOUD retention, and in this expanded scope project it will be further adapted and tested with a small pilot sample of individuals (N = 10-20) who are further upstream in th…
