New study tests simple behavioral tricks to keep opioid patients in treatment
NCT ID NCT07607743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two behavioral interventions—Behavioral Activation (finding enjoyable activities) and Attendance Reinforcement (vouchers for showing up)—to help people with opioid use disorder stay on buprenorphine treatment for at least 6 months. Researchers will enroll 240 adults who recently started buprenorphine or were recently released from jail. The goal is to find the best combination of these low-cost, remote-delivered supports to improve treatment retention and reduce overdose risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Behavioral interventions (Behavioral Activation and Attendance Reinforcement)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help more people stick with opioid addiction treatment, reducing overdose risk and improving long-term recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage optimization trial, not a test of a new drug. The behavioral interventions may not significantly improve retention, and results may not apply to all treatment settings.
