Reward-based Technology to Improve OUD Treatment

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Opioid Use Disorder

In brief

Millions of people in the US misuse opioids each year. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) is highly efficacious, but only a fraction of OUD persons access MAT, and treatment non-adherence is common and associated with poor outcomes. This project will utilize a digital mobile platform, Opioid Addiction Recovery Support with contingency management (OARSCM), to increase MAT treatment initiation and adherence among OUD patients recruited from emergency departments and inpatient acute care.
