NCT ID NCT06384781
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at whether having a peer support specialist (a person with lived experience) can help people with opioid use disorder begin and continue taking buprenorphine, a medication that reduces cravings. Ninety adults from rural South Carolina joined the study and were compared to past patients who did not have a peer coach. The goal was to see if the coach helped more people start medication and stick with it for three months.
