Peers step in: new approach aims to keep opioid patients in treatment

NCT ID NCT05299515

Summary

This study tested whether counseling sessions led by trained peers (people with their own recovery experience) could help low-income minority patients in Baltimore stay on their prescribed medication for opioid addiction. The program focused on building positive daily routines and motivation. Researchers compared this peer-led approach to standard clinic care over six months to see if it improved treatment retention.
