Summary

This study tested a coaching and training program for addiction clinics to help them better treat opioid use disorder. The program included training on tracking patient progress, using medications for opioid use disorder, and improving patient retention. Researchers worked with nearly 8,000 patients across multiple clinics to see if this approach could improve health outcomes and reduce overdoses.
