Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation Intervention to Improve Adherence to MAT Among Low-Income, Minority Individuals With OUD - Pilot Phase
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation (Peer Activate) for Substance Use and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a peer-led, brief, behavioral intervention to improve adherence to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among low-income, minoritized individuals living with opioid use disorder (OUD) in Baltimore, Maryland. The intervention is based on behavioral activation (BA) and is specifically designed to be implemented by a trained peer recovery specialist. In this pilot trial, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of this approach (implementation outcomes) and preliminary effectiveness on methadone treatment retention at three months.

Timeline
Interventions
The Peer Activate intervention consisted of weekly one-hour BA sessions led by a peer recovery specialist (PRS) for up to 12 weekly sessions, with the first five being the core treatment sessions and content, and the subsequent seven designed to reinforce core content. In these sessions, participants received individualized support in learning skills to assist in their retention and persistence in methadone treatment and were guided through exercises aimed at incorporating substance-free, rewarding activities into their daily life.
