This study, called ROMI, is looking for ways to help people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are leaving Illinois jails and prisons. It tests two approaches: one involves "Case Management and Peer Recovery," where you get support from a case manager and a peer coach to connect with treatment. The other approach, "Naloxone-Only," trains you on how to use naloxone (a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose) and provides you with a kit and information on local resources. The goal is to see which approach helps people engage with addiction treatment for at least 12 months. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, live in a designated research area, and likely have OUD. The study is currently enrolling participants.
