Summary

This study looks at whether helping clinics offer more take-home doses of methadone (instead of daily visits) helps people stay in treatment for opioid use disorder. Researchers will work with 36 clinics and about 318 patients to see if this approach reduces emergency visits and hospital stays. The goal is to improve long-term disease control by making treatment more convenient.
