Training Peer Recovery Coaches to Promote Retention and Adherence to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Among Low-Income Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Activation (BA) for Opioid Use. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project aims to implement a peer-led intervention to support retention and adherence to medications for opioid use disorder among low-income adults in Detroit, as well as a training manual for peer recovery coaches serving similar populations. The approach will serve as a guide to coaches in providing positive reinforcement and helping those in treatment to schedule and engage in valued activities. Researchers will examine the effectiveness of the intervention, supervision and training models, and share results with policymakers and treatment programs.
