NCT ID NCT05646212
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests different ways to bring mental health treatment into methadone clinics in Ukraine. 1,350 patients from 12 clinics are taking part. Some clinics get extra training and financial rewards to help screen and treat depression. The goal is to see if these strategies improve how many patients get diagnosed, start treatment, and stay on antidepressants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and a telehealth training program (Project ECHO) plus financial incentives for clinics
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show a practical way to treat depression in people receiving opioid addiction treatment, improving their mental health and overall care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. The results may depend on local factors in Ukraine and may not apply elsewhere. The mental health benefits may be modest.
