Comparing Interventions for Opioid Dependent Patients Presenting in Medical Emergency Departments
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Opioid Dependence
In brief
This study will compare the effects of brief strengths-based case management (SBCM) to the effects of screening, assessment and referral alone (SAR) in opioid-dependent patients. Participants meeting DSM-IV criteria for opioid dependence will be randomly assigned (150 per group) to receive 1) up to 6 sessions of SBCM; or 2) SAR. Follow-up assessments will be completed at 3 and 6 months, by staff who are blinded to treatment condition.
