Summary

This study looks at whether having a specially trained peer recovery specialist in the emergency department helps people with substance use disorders connect to treatment and support services. Researchers will follow 400 adults who visit the ER for substance-related issues, comparing those who work with a peer specialist to those who don't. The goal is to see if this approach increases engagement in addiction treatment and reduces repeat ER visits and deaths.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART) community health worker-peer recovery specialist
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that having a peer recovery specialist in the emergency department helps more people with substance use disorders start and stay in treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other hospitals or regions.
