What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of home treatment (HT) for individuals suffering from severe substance use disorders compared to traditional inpatient treatment. The study will focus on readmission rates within six months post-discharge, as previous data indicates a high rate of readmissions during this period. Participants will be randomly assigned to either home treatment or standard inpatient care, with the goal of preparing for a larger-scale study if the pilot proves successful.
