Can bringing addiction treatment to syringe programs save more lives?
NCT ID NCT07631598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether offering buprenorphine treatment directly at syringe service programs (SSPs) helps more people start and stay on medication for opioid use disorder compared to referring them elsewhere. About 512 adults who use SSPs and have moderate to severe opioid use disorder will take part. The goal is to see if on-site, easy-access treatment improves retention and reduces overdoses.
