Study Summary

This 2 x 2 factorial, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will test two interventions: directly observed medication therapy, and long-term therapy with varenicline among smokers with opioid use disorder recruited from community-based, outpatient opioid treatment programs. The analytic strategy will evaluate the milestones in smoking cessation-achieving initial abstinence, preventing lapse and preventing relapse--necessary for long-term cessation, and evaluate theoretically-guided psychological and social factors and pharmacogenetic factors that influence these cessation processes.

Primary Outcome

Time-to-initial abstinence, defined as a 24 hour period without smoking, will be assessed as Period of ≥ 24 hour self-reported abstinence during the intervention period, will be assessed. Group mean time-to-initial abstinence will be reported.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Directly Observed Therapy
  • DRUG Long-Term Varenicline
  • DRUG Short-Term Varenicline
  • BEHAVIORAL Self Administered Therapy
