Summary

This study is a multi-site open-label randomized comparative effectiveness trial of a 28-day formulation of extended-release buprenorphine (XR-BUP) versus treatment as usual (TAU) for hospitalized patients with a moderate or severe opioid use disorder (OUD) seen by an addiction consultation service (ACS) and agreeing to initiate a medication for OUD (MOUD). Participants will be randomly assigned to XR-BUP or TAU to be received within 72 hours of anticipated hospital discharge. Follow up will occur at approximately 34, 90, and 180 days following hospital discharge.

Conditions

  • Substance Use Disorder
  • Opioid Use Disorder, Moderate
  • Opioid Use Disorder, Severe

Interventions

DRUG

Extended Release Buprenorphine

XR-BUP administration prior to hospital discharge will increase engagement in OUD care on the 34th day following hospital discharge more than is currently afforded by ACS TAU approaches (e.g., methadone, SL-BUP, and naltrexone).

DRUG

Treatment as Usual

Community standard medication for opioid use disorder (e.g., methadone, sublingual buprenorphine, naltrexone) initiated prior to hospital discharge.
