Summary

This study tests whether keeping people with opioid use disorder in the emergency department for a longer observation period helps them start medication like buprenorphine and connect to follow-up care. About 170 adults from four hospitals will be randomly assigned to standard ER care or an extended observation unit. The goal is to improve treatment initiation and long-term recovery support.
