Home shots vs clinic trips: new hope for breaking Prison's opioid cycle
NCT ID NCT02867124
Summary
This study tested if delivering a monthly medication for opioid addiction directly to a person's home after prison release helps them stay in treatment better than requiring clinic visits. It involved 240 people with opioid addiction who were about to be released from Maryland prisons. Researchers compared outcomes like drug use, re-arrest, and treatment adherence between the home-delivery group and the clinic-visit group over seven months.
