First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS) for young adults aged 18-28 with opioid use disorder. The program includes home delivery of medication, family involvement, and active outreach to help participants stay on their relapse prevention shots. The goal is to improve medication adherence and reduce opioid relapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS) program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a practical way to help young adults stay on opioid relapse prevention medication and reduce overdose risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial testing a behavioral program, not a new drug. Results may not apply to all young adults, and adherence challenges may persist.
