Ketamine for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder and Depression
DepressionOpioid-use Disorder1 moreThe purpose of the study is to examine whether an investigational medication called ketamine is able to improve treatment outcomes for concurrent opioid addiction and depression when used in conjunction with buprenorphine treatment. Study medications will be delivered twice per week for four weeks. If you are eligible and you decide to enroll in the study, your participation will last approximately 8 weeks, or 2 months.
Novel Earpiece for Transcutaneous Auricular Neurostimulation (tAN) for Symptoms of Opioid Withdrawal...
Opioid-use DisorderOpioid WithdrawalThe objective of this study is to evaluate whether tAN via the tragus (vagal) and auriculotemporal (trigeminal) nerve pathways results in a clinically meaningful reduction in opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Cannabidiol Use to Reduce Cravings in Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder on Buprenorphine
Opioid-use DisorderThe purpose of this week-long study is to determine the impact of cannabidiol on cue-induced cravings among individuals with opioid use disorder who are stable on sublingual buprenorphine treatment.
Tailoring a Mindful Intervention to Enhance Opioid Treatment
Opioid-use DisorderThe main aim of this study is to better understand whether yoga can be blended with mindfulness as an additional intervention for people receiving medication assisted treatment at a Hartford-based community agency. If this program is acceptable to participants, then additional studies can allow us to determine its impact on stress and cravings. This intervention, developed by the researchers, is called BEING.
An Open-Label Pilot Study of Sublocade as Treatment for Opiate Use Disorder
Opioid-use DisorderThe proposed study is a 12-week, open-label pilot study of sublocade (extended-release burprenorphine, BXR) as treatment for opiate use disorder (OUD) testing positive for Highly Potent Synthetic Opioids (HPSO). The investigators plan to enroll 10 participants into the study.
MINDFUL-OBOT: Effect of Mindfulness on Opioid Use and Anxiety During Primary Care Buprenorphine...
Opioid-use DisorderAnxiety2 moreThe goal of this pilot study is to test the Mindful Recovery OBOT Care Continuum (M-ROCC) model in primary care office-based opioid treatment (OBOT). M-ROCC features integration of evidence-based mindfulness training with weekly group-based opioid treatment. Primary outcomes include (1) Feasibility measured by implementation of the curriculum into two CHA primary care sites and attendance at weekly sessions; (2) Acceptance via self-report and qualitative interviews. Secondary outcomes include anxiety reduction.
FAVOR Opioid Recovery Coaching Evaluation
Opiate AbuseOpiate Overdose1 moreThe Emergency Department (ED) is an ideal location to identify patients in need of treatment for opioid addiction. A local non-profit community-based addiction recovery program, Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) utilizes a peer recovery coaching model applied to substance use disorders by identifying, training, credentialing and supervising individuals who have been in recovery for at least 2 years. These peer recovery coaches become the primary workforce in this community-based model. FAVOR provides no-cost comprehensive services for addiction recovery. The investigators hypothesized that having FAVOR Recovery Coaches (FRC) evaluate patients during an ED visit for opioid overdose would result in a high degree of engagement from the patients and serve as an opportunity to begin treatment for addiction.
Re-entry XR-NTX for Rural Individuals With Opioid Use Disorder
Opioid DependenceThe overall aim of this R34 proposal is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term outcomes associated with an innovative service delivery model to increase adherence to extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) during the transition from jail to the community for rural individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). The significance of this study is grounded in the public health emergency associated with the opioid epidemic in rural Appalachia, the increased vulnerability of rural individuals with OUD, and the dearth of available and accessible evidence-based treatment in the region. This study has potential to make a significant contribution to the OUD treatment field by advancing knowledge on innovative service delivery models to increase access to evidence-based treatment to reduce the prevalence of opioid use disorders and related health disparities among hard-to-reach, high-risk, underserved populations.
SMART Trial: Community Stigma Reduction
Opioid-use DisorderStigma1 moreThe goal of this project is to engage community members from two low-income African American communities (N=200) in a survey study that assesses stigma toward those with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Those from the intervention community will be subject to a stigma reduction campaign via billboards. Those from the control community will not. Stigma will be re-assessed following the period of the campaign.
