Improving opioid treatment outcomes for individuals under community supervision
Using Implementation Interventions and Peer Recovery Support to Improve Opioid Treatment Outcomes in Community Supervision
This study is looking to help people who have been in jail and are now on probation or parole by making it easier for them to get medication to treat their opioid use disorder, with the goal of reducing relapses and improving their health.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the treatment of opioid use disorder among individuals who have been previously incarcerated and are under community supervision, such as probation or parole. It aims to implement a systems-change approach to increase access to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) through a randomized design across various community supervision sites in Rhode Island, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. By linking these individuals to effective treatment options, the research seeks to reduce relapse rates and improve overall health outcomes. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in real-world settings, providing valuable insights into best practices for community-based opioid treatment.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have a history of opioid use disorder and are currently on probation or parole.
Not a fit: Patients who are not currently under community supervision or do not have a substance use disorder may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce overdose deaths and improve recovery outcomes for individuals with opioid use disorder who are under community supervision.
How similar studies have performed: Previous initiatives have shown success in linking incarcerated individuals to MOUD, indicating that this approach has the potential for meaningful impact.
