Summary
This study tested a collaborative care model for people with opioid use disorder and depression, anxiety, or PTSD. 567 adults received medication (buprenorphine-naloxone or naltrexone) along with therapy and support from a primary care team. The goal was to reduce opioid use and improve mental health symptoms.
