Summary

This study tests whether giving buprenorphine (a medication for opioid addiction) as a bridge treatment helps people on probation or parole stop using illicit opioids and stay in treatment. About 320 adults in Baltimore will either receive the bridge treatment or be referred to a community program as usual. The goal is to see if starting medication right away improves outcomes.
