New ER program aims to stop opioid overdose deaths with support and medication

NCT ID NCT06593093

Summary

This study tests a combination of services—telehealth check-ins, a peer support specialist, the medication buprenorphine, and help connecting to long-term care—for people who have had an opioid overdose and visited the emergency department. The goal is to help 190 adults stay in treatment for at least three months and reduce the risk of another overdose. Participants must be willing to continue taking buprenorphine after leaving the hospital.
