COVID-19-Related Opioid Treatment Policy Evaluation

Opioid-use DisorderAlcohol Use Disorder

Our nation is facing the COVID-19 pandemic during an ongoing opioid epidemic. Effective treatment for patients with opioid use problems involves a treatment method called Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT. In MAT, patients receive a medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms and can prevent overdose. Patients also receive counseling. Because the medications that are used in MAT are controlled substances, this treatment is subject to a number of federal regulations. The need for social-distancing during the pandemic would have made following these regulations very difficult for patients and their providers. Because of these difficulties, the federal government eased regulations in March 2020, making it easier for patients to receive MAT with fewer (if any) in-person visits for medication and counseling. Our team is studying the effects of these policy changes on the treatment that patients with opioid use disorder receive and on their outcomes. We are using both quantitative analyses of large, existing databases and qualitative analyses of interviews with patients, providers, and policy-makers to study these effects.

Ketamine for Combined Depression and Alcohol Use Disorder

DepressionAlcohol Use Disorder

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of ketamine, in combination with standard inpatient addiction therapy, for adults with depression and alcohol use disorder. After screening and enrollment, participants will undergo baseline assessments of depression, measures of alcohol use and craving, as well as neurocognitive function. Participants will then be randomized to either ketamine (intervention) or midazolam (control). All participants will be admitted for standard inpatient addiction therapy while receiving ketamine or midazolam. Measures on safety, depression and alcohol use disorder will be repeatedly assessed during and after treatment. Final follow-up assessment is scheduled 6 months after baseline assessment.

A Combined Neurofeedback-TMS Intervention for Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol Use Disorder

The goal of this clinical study is to test the effectiveness of a supplemental fMRI neurofeedback and/or TMS intervention in individuals seeking treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder. After an initial visit, participants will come in once a week for four (4) weeks for an intervention session, which may or may not include TMS and MRI. Participants will be contacted for monthly follow-ups (remotely) for up to 12 months and will be asked to come in for two MRI follow-ups at 6 and 12 months.

Treating Drivers of Suicide Using Jaspr Health

SuicideSuicide6 more

The goal of this Fast-Track Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to test the newly expanded Jaspr2.0, developed to efficiently and reliably aid delivery of recommended best-practices for the treatment of suicidal ideation in adults, including suicidal individuals who also misuse alcohol. Jaspr1.0 was developed by the PIs under NIMH SBIR Phase I and Phase II awards (R43MH108222 & R44MH108222; Dimeff & Jobes). This current proposal will expand Jaspr content to include content relevant to primary care and brief interventions for the treatment of suicidal ideation and alcohol misuse. Jaspr2.0 will include techniques for prevention of suicidal behaviors (ideation, planning, attempts) and death by suicide while providing support in the moment after discharge via a companion mobile app, Jaspr-at-Home. Jaspr2.0 will include: psychoeducation, behavioral skills training, crisis stabilization planning, lethal means management, brief interventions for the treatment of suicidal ideation and alcohol misuse, and messages of hope, wisdom, and insights from people with lived experience (PLE). Investigators will conduct a 12-week randomized controlled clinical trial (N=120) comparing Jaspr2.0 (n=60) to an active control condition (Virtual Hope Box + electronic wellness resources brochure; n=60) in adults experiencing suicidal ideation. Participants will be randomly assigned to condition utilizing a minimization randomization procedure to match participants across condition on suicide severity, depression severity, and alcohol misuse. To ensure a sufficient sample of individuals who misuse alcohol, no fewer than 35% (n=42) of the sample will be comprised of individuals who experience harmful or hazardous levels of alcohol use. Participants will be assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Investigators will conduct a small 6-week pilot trial (N=20; Jaspr n=15; Active Control n=5) prior to commencing the full RCT to test both study procedures and Jaspr2.0.

Bridging ED to Outpatient AUD Therapy With Naltrexone

Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a treatable and common condition encountered in the emergency department, but unfortunately is rarely directly addressed in emergency departments nationwide. To our knowledge, initiation of medication assisted therapy (MAT) for AUD in the emergency department setting has not been widely adopted. Our project is novel for its scope to use a medication well-tested in the outpatient environment and bring it to the emergency department in order to more effectively link patients to outpatient alcohol use reduction therapy as part of a medication assisted therapy (MAT). The investigators are proposing a feasibility project to initiate oral naltrexone to eligible ED patients deemed to have alcohol use disorder and who are interested in cutting down their drinking. The investigators plan to connect these patients with outpatient follow-up in our own community practice center (CPC) for intramuscular (IM) Vivitrol injections under the supervision of the Einstein Toxicology Department. Through the CPC, patients can also be referred to other supporting services such as Alcoholics Anonymous for multidisciplinary care. The investigators are optimistic that this innovative warm hand off from the initial ED visit to outpatient follow-up will ultimately decrease problematic drinking, improve patient's health, and benefit the hospital. Our main objective is to establish a pathway to encourage patients who present to the emergency room with acute sequelae of alcohol use disorder to enter outpatient treatment. Our intervention will be the initiation of oral naltrexone with warm handoff to the Community Practice Center where patients will be transitioned to intramuscular (IM) Vivitrol for chronic maintenance therapy. Thus success will be measured by primarily: percentage of patients who make it to their first outpatient visit for the Vivitrol injection, percentage of patients who continue with treatment and continue to receive Vivitrol for their second injection.

Mobile Rewarding Activity Centered Treatment

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a highly prevalent and significant public health problem. Behavioral treatments based in the principles of social learning theory and cognitive behavior therapy have been developed and tested for AUD, yet effect sizes are relatively small and rates of relapse following treatment are high. Theoretically informed adjunctive interventions may help to enhance the effects of extant AUD treatments. In particular, evidence suggests that environments lacking in substance-free (SF) activities contribute to the development and maintenance of AUD and that the availability of rewarding SF activities may serve as viable alternatives to compete with alcohol use. Building on the advantages of accessibility and low-cost option afforded by the use of mobile technology, this proposal outlines a well-integrated research and training plan to investigate a mobile health intervention to increase engagement in rewarding SF activities among patients in AUD treatment. This proposed research aims to develop and evaluate a mobile phone ecological momentary assessment plus ecological momentary intervention (EMA+EMI; entitled: mobile - Rewarding Activity Centered Treatment (m-ReACT)) app to augment existing AUD treatment. The m-ReACT app will monitor self-reported rewarding SF activity engagement in real-time and deliver personalized feedback that encourages participants to engage in highly rewarding activities that are goal-oriented and support positive treatment outcomes. This proposed intervention will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 will develop the m-ReACT app and Phase 2 will evaluate its efficacy in randomized control pilot trial with a sample of 50 AUD patients who have recently initiated outpatient AUD treatment. Participants in the pilot RCT will be randomly assigned to either the m-ReACT condition or an active control condition. It is hypothesized that m-ReACT will result in increased rates of percent days of alcohol abstinence and increased reinforcement from SF activities.
