Summary

This study looked at 240 prisoners with opioid addiction to see if getting a long-acting naltrexone shot at home after release helps them stay on treatment better than going to a clinic. Participants got one shot in prison and six monthly shots either at a clinic or at home. The goal was to reduce opioid use, re-arrests, and risky behaviors.
