Study Summary

This investigation involves a partially randomized clinical trial examining the effectiveness of combining buprenorphine/naloxone MAT with START NOW, a skills-based psychosocial intervention modified specifically for the ambulatory substance use disorder (SUD) patient population. START NOW is an integrated evidence-informed model based on an adapted form of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a type of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with promising indications for treating SUD as it targets impulsive and self-destructive behaviors. Furthermore, START NOW combines CBT, the most widely used evidence-based psychosocial intervention for treating mental disorders, with motivational interviewing, which in clinical trials has been shown to be an effective technique for engaging patients with SUD. In addition to tracking clinical outcomes such as abstinence rates through weekly urine drug screens, this investigation will use: clinician assessments of disease severity, researcher-evaluated tests of delayed discounting (DD) and demand tasks, and self-report surveys assessing impulsivity, aggression, interpersonal skills, and other measures to capture the patients' sense of progress in treatment in regards to their substance use, health, lifestyle, and community. By using DD and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the identification of the neural correlates of START NOW treatment response will begin to elucidate the mechanisms of START NOW's effects and more. This investigation's outcome measures may not only compare the effectiveness between START NOW and treatment-as-usual (TAU), but also provide a more realistic, holistic view of patients and their well-being throughout the recovery process. DD will be performed by both START NOW group members and TAU group members at their group therapy meetings as per protocol. Additionally, START NOW group members randomized and consented to have an fMRI will also perform DD before the scan is initiated.
