Study Summary

This trial is testing whether an extended ED visit is more effective than a standard ED visit for treating patients with untreated OUD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who visit the ED with untreated Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), can speak English, and are not currently in formal addiction treatment. They must be willing to receive standard or extended care based on random assignment and have a history of non-medical opioid use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches for managing patients with OUD in the emergency department: standard care versus an extended visit through observation. Participants will be randomly placed into one of these two groups at several New York hospitals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves observation rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects from interventions being tested. However, participants may experience discomfort due to longer stays in the ED if assigned to extended observation.
