Summary

This study tests whether acetazolamide, a drug that helps with certain types of sleep apnea, can improve breathing during sleep in people taking methadone or buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. About 40 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo for 7 days. Researchers will measure sleep quality, anxiety, and drug cravings to see if treating sleep apnea leads to other health benefits.
