Summary

This study compares a higher daily dose of buprenorphine (24 mg) to the standard dose (16 mg) to see if it helps people with opioid use disorder stay in treatment longer. About 250 adults who have used fentanyl will be randomly assigned to one of the two doses. The goal is to improve retention, reduce cravings, and lower the risk of overdose.
