Improving addiction care and overdose prevention in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine
Northeast Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network
This program brings together clinics, researchers, and community partners to develop and deliver new treatments, digital tools, and support for people with substance use disorders in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

What this research studies
If you live in New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine and are affected by substance use, this network works with local clinics and community groups to offer opportunities to try new treatments and digital supports. The Node runs multi-site clinical trials and observational studies, collects health and behavioral data, and uses digital health tools and AI-driven analytics to tailor care. Community representatives and state partners help shape the research so it fits rural needs and local services. The network also focuses on putting effective treatments into routine care across participating health systems.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People with substance use disorders or at high risk of overdose who live in New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine and receive care at participating clinics are the most likely candidates.
Not a fit: People who live outside the region, are not connected to participating sites, or do not have substance use concerns are unlikely to benefit directly from this Node's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could make more effective, accessible addiction treatments and digital supports available in rural New England and help reduce overdoses.
How similar studies have performed: The CTN has a track record of producing practice-changing addiction trials, though applying AI and digital therapeutics in community settings is a newer area still being tested.
