Improve treatments for opioid addiction and overdose

Young people are disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis due to lack of access to medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) and poor adherence to these treatments. The Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS) model is an innovative wraparound approach that attempts to address barriers to treatment engagement in the young adult population, especially difficulties with medication adherence. The YORS model components include home delivery of extended-release naltrexone for OUD, engagement of families in collaborative treatment planning and monitoring focusing on medication adherence, assertive outreach from the treatment team by text messaging and social media to promote engagement and adherence, and contingency management to provide incentives for medication adherence. If the refining and testing demonstrates the efficacy of the YORS intervention, future work could include an economic analysis, a larger multisite study, longer intervention duration, study of extended-release buprenorphine, and study of step-down to less intensive interventions.
