Study Summary

Despite high prevalence, few hospitalized inpatients with opioid or alcohol use disorders (OAUDs) receive evidence-based treatments while in the hospital or get linked with appropriate follow-up care, leading to poor clinical outcomes and high readmission rates and costs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a physician and care manager with addiction expertise, both members of the Substance Abuse Treatment and Recovery Team (START), can help improve initiation of treatment in the hospital and linkage to follow-up care upon discharge. START members have expertise in the treatment of substance use disorders. START will work with the medical or surgical team to ensure appropriate care is received. That care will include therapy, focused discharge planning, and medication treatment options. START will also help establish a follow-up plan for continuation of treatment after hospital discharge. To assess feasibility, the study will enroll 80 patients admitted to the hospital over 5 months in a pilot randomized clinical trial and collect baseline and 1-month follow-up data. To determine acceptability, the study will conduct semi-structured interviews with 40 providers. Results of this pilot study will inform a larger clinical trial.
