Summary

This study tests a staged approach to help addiction treatment programs in Washington State increase their use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Clinics start with simple feedback reports and, if needed, move to more intensive support like workshops and coaching. The goal is to see which combination of strategies works best to get more patients started on and staying with medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Enhanced Monitoring and Feedback, NIATx/MAT Academy, Internal and External Facilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more addiction clinics nationwide adopt medications for opioid use disorder, improving treatment access and patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. It tests how to change clinic behavior, not a new treatment. Results may vary across clinics and may not apply outside Washington State.
