First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests a program called THRIVE, where trained peer support specialists help people with opioid use disorder after they leave the hospital. Participants get one in-person session and weekly texts for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this support lowers the chance of a non-fatal overdose or serious skin infections compared to just getting a resource handout.
