Measurement-Based Care for Opioid Use Disorder
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to improve care for people with opioid use disorder by using tools that help track symptoms and facilitate discussions with healthcare providers. It will test whether these tools, known as measurement-based care, lead to better treatment outcomes compared to usual care. The trial seeks new patients at opioid treatment programs who speak English or Spanish. Participants will either use the new tools or continue with current care methods, with some switching to the new tools later. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the opportunity to contribute to innovative care approaches that could enhance treatment outcomes for many.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your healthcare provider.
What prior data suggests that measurement-based care tools are safe for use in opioid treatment programs?
Research has shown that measurement-based care (MBC) is generally well-received by patients. MBC uses tools to track symptoms and help patients better understand their health. Studies have found that MBC can improve treatment results by increasing patient involvement and reducing early treatment discontinuation. Reports of negative effects from using MBC tools are absent.
The Greenspace Mental Health tools, used in this trial as part of the MBC approach, allow patients to see their symptoms and how they change over time. This involvement helps them play an active role in their treatment. Evidence does not indicate that these tools cause harm or discomfort. Overall, using MBC tools appears safe based on current data.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores a new approach to managing opioid use disorder using measurement-based care. Unlike standard treatments that rely primarily on medication and counseling, this method uses Greenspace Mental Health tools to provide personalized care through regular assessments and feedback. This approach could lead to more tailored and effective interventions by continuously adjusting treatments based on individual progress. By integrating technology and data-driven insights, researchers hope to improve outcomes for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder.
What evidence suggests that measurement-based care is effective for opioid use disorder?
Research has shown that measurement-based care (MBC) tools can enhance the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). These tools track symptoms and engage patients more actively in their treatment. In this trial, participants may be assigned to different arms, including one that uses Measurement-Based Care with Greenspace Mental Health tools. One study found that 47% of patients using MBC remained in treatment for at least six months, compared to only 2.9% of those who did not use these tools. This suggests that MBC can lead to better outcomes, such as reduced opioid use and improved overall health. By regularly monitoring key health factors, MBC tailors treatment to each person's needs, making care more effective.678910
