Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a peer-led, brief, behavioral intervention to improve adherence to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and reduce polysubstance use among patients with OUD and polysubstance use in underserved areas. The intervention is based on behavioral activation (BA) and is specifically designed to be implemented by a trained peer recovery specialist. In this hybrid, Type-1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of Peer Activate vs. treatment as usual (TAU) over twelve months.

Primary Outcome

Polysubstance use will be assessed using urinalysis. Urine samples are collected at each visit and sent out for toxicological analysis using a customized panel composed of 40 analytes, including both qualitative and quantitative results for opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, alcohol, marijuana, hallucinogens, methadone, buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine.
