Study for Opioid Use Disorder After Emergency Department Discharge
This study is testing a 'bundled intervention' for people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who have recently been discharged from the emergency department (ED) after an opioid overdose. The intervention includes peer support, buprenorphine (a medication for OUD), telehealth (medical care through technology), and community addiction programs. You could join if you are 19 or older, have been diagnosed with OUD, had an opioid overdose in the last year, were prescribed buprenorphine in the ED, and are willing to continue it. The study aims to see if this bundled approach helps people stay in treatment and connected to addiction programs. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 190 participants.
