What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a program designed to help individuals continue medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) after leaving jail. The program, called the Reentry Incentives and Support for Engagement with Contingency Management (RISE-CM) Intervention, uses rewards, such as gift cards, to encourage attendance at MOUD appointments and counseling. Researchers aim to determine if this reward system can reduce the risk of overdose and improve health after release. Individuals currently in jail, taking MOUD, and planning to continue treatment after release may be well-suited for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative approaches that could significantly enhance post-release health outcomes.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not require you to stop taking your current medications. In fact, it encourages you to continue your medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) after release from jail.

What prior data suggests that this program is safe for participants?

Studies have shown that contingency management (CM), the program tested in this study, is generally safe and well-tolerated. CM offers rewards to encourage positive behaviors, such as attending treatment sessions. Research indicates that CM does not have significant negative effects because it uses safe incentives like gift cards or small rewards.

No specific data on negative events for CM exists because it doesn't involve medication or invasive procedures. Instead, it functions as a supportive program to help individuals adhere to their treatment plans. Various settings have studied CM's safety, and it is considered a low-risk approach.

Overall, CM is seen as a promising way to help individuals continue their medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) after release from jail. Thorough research has demonstrated its effectiveness, and existing evidence supports its safety.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the RISE-CM Intervention for opioid use disorder because it incorporates contingency management, a method that offers tangible incentives to encourage positive behavior changes. Unlike traditional treatments like methadone or buprenorphine, which focus on reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, RISE-CM actively engages participants by rewarding their progress, potentially increasing motivation and long-term success. This approach aims to support individuals in their recovery journey by fostering engagement and retention, addressing key challenges in current treatment methods.

What evidence suggests that the RISE-CM intervention is effective for supporting treatment engagement after release from jail?

Research has shown that contingency management (CM), a program offering rewards for positive actions, can help people adhere to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Studies have found that CM increases the likelihood of continued treatment and improves health outcomes. A review also found that CM reduces behavior problems in those on MOUD. Additionally, using CM with technology, such as smartphone apps, has been linked to better treatment results. These findings suggest that CM can be a useful tool for individuals transitioning from jail back into the community, helping to lower their risk of overdose. In this trial, all participants will enroll in the RISE-CM Intervention, which incorporates these principles to support reentry and engagement with treatment.12678
