YORS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS) model is an innovative wrap-around approach that attempts to address barriers to treatment engagement in this vulnerable young adult population, especially difficulties with medication adherence. Its components include: (1) Home delivery of extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX) for OUD; (2) Engagement of families in collaborative treatment planning and monitoring focusing on medication adherence; (3) Assertive outreach from the treatment team including actively tracking and communicating with youth and families by text messaging and social media to promote engagement and adherence; and (4) Contingency management to provide incentives for medication adherence. The specific components of YORS will be refined and adapted based on feedback from interviews and focus groups with various stakeholders. However, the basic framework outlined above is expected to persists.
Group II: Treatment As UsualActive Control1 Intervention
TAU will contain patients who will be receiving treatment for opioid use disorder through their usual venues without the family engagement, assertive outreach, contingency management, and home delivery of medication. This often includes a referral and warm hand off to intensive outpatient SUD services and/or mental health care.
