Interventions

  • Recovery Community Center Linkage (RCCL) — BEHAVIORAL
    A certified recovery coach will meet with participants to educate them on recovery support services, including recovery community centers, and link them to a recovery community center, with the aid of a facilitated connection to a volunteer recovery community center member (e.g., calling a standby peer, scheduling a meet-up at the center). The coach will also provide the participant with a brochure of recovery support resources.
  • Control Condition (CC) — BEHAVIORAL
    A certified recovery coach will meet with participants to educate them on recovery support services more broadly, including recovery community centers, and will provide them with a brochure of recovery support resources.

Study Details

The aims of the current study are to: Aim 1. Develop and refine a novel intervention protocol for individuals receiving medication treatment for opioid use disorder that assertively links them to recovery community centers; Aim 2. Determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of assertive linkage to recovery community centers relative to a matched control condition, via a pilot randomized controlled trial; Aim 3. Explain quantitative findings by gaining an in-depth understanding of the intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy via qualitative interviews.

Arms

  • Experimental: Recovery Community Center Linkage (RCCL)
    The RCCL arm will involve a brief (\~20 minutes) meeting with a recovery coach (i.e. linkage manager), in which the recovery coach will inform the participant of recovery support services, including recovery community centers, and link them to a recovery community center, with the aid of a facilitated connection to a volunteer recovery community center member (i.e. peer facilitator). The linkage manager will also provide the participant with a list of recovery support service resources.
  • Active Comparator: Control Condition (CC)
    The CC arm will involve a time-matched meeting with a recovery coach (i.e. linkage manager), in which the recovery coach will broadly inform the participant of recovery support services, including recovery community centers, and provide them with a list of recovery support service resources.
