FAVOR Opioid Recovery Coaching Evaluation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Opiate Overdose; Opioid-use Disorder; Opiate Abuse
• Interventions: Behavioral: Peer Addiction Counseling

• Registration Number: NCT03798470
• Lead Sponsor: Prisma Health-Upstate

Brief Summary

The Emergency Department (ED) is an ideal location to identify patients in need of treatment for opioid addiction. A local non-profit community-based addiction recovery program, Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) utilizes a peer recovery coaching model applied to substance use disorders by identifying, training, credentialing and supervising individuals who have been in recovery for at least 2 years.

These peer recovery coaches become the primary workforce in this community-based model. FAVOR provides no-cost comprehensive services for addiction recovery. The investigators hypothesized that having FAVOR Recovery Coaches (FRC) evaluate patients during an ED visit for opioid overdose would result in a high degree of engagement from the patients and serve as an opportunity to begin treatment for addiction.
