What is being tested?

The trial tests a new way to help people with opioid addiction by using telehealth in emergency departments. It involves medical toxicologists and peer recovery coaches working together to start treatment and connect patients to ongoing care.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention is sociobehavioral rather than medicinal, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or stress during recovery coaching sessions.
