First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

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