Summary

This study tests whether a collaborative care model—where a nurse care manager works with your primary care doctor and an addiction specialist—can help adults reduce their use of opioids, stimulants (like cocaine or meth), and heavy drinking. About 300 patients from primary care clinics will take part. The goal is to see if this team approach leads to fewer days of substance use and better overall recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Collaborative care intervention (education, nurse care manager, addiction specialist consultation)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide an effective way to manage substance use disorders in primary care, reducing drug and alcohol use.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small trial (301 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to all settings, and the effect may be modest.
