BUPrenorphine Facilitated Access and Supportive Treatment --AIM 3

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Opioid-related Disorders

In brief

The goal of this study is to test whether peer mentors (i.e., individuals with past opioid addiction and prior incarceration) can facilitate entrance into buprenorphine (Suboxone) treatment for individuals with opioid use disorder who were recently released from jail or prison. In order to test whether it is helpful to have peer mentors paired with recently released individuals, the investigators will conduct an 18 month study, recruiting 72 formerly incarcerated individuals and assigning them by chance selection (like flipping a coin) to either a group that will receive peer mentorship or a group that will receive a referral to a community clinic.
