NCT ID NCT04239235
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding a support person—like a family member or friend—to standard buprenorphine treatment helps people with opioid addiction stay in treatment longer. 439 patients and their support persons took part. The support persons learned CRAFT, a counseling program that teaches them how to encourage their loved one's recovery. The main goal was to see if patients stayed on buprenorphine for at least 6 or 12 months.
