Can a sleep pill help break the cycle of addiction?

NCT ID NCT04287062

Summary

This study tested whether a prescription sleep aid (suvorexant) could improve sleep and reduce daily stress for people in early recovery from opioid addiction. Participants were already receiving standard medication-assisted treatment (like methadone or buprenorphine) and reported poor sleep. They were randomly assigned to receive either the sleep medication or a placebo for 8 weeks to see if better sleep helped their recovery process.
