Enhancing Substance Use Treatment Services to Decrease Dropout and Improve Outpatient Treatment Utilization in Emerging Adults
Sponsor: UConn Health
Summary
Emerging adults (ages 18-25) are at higher risk for substance use disorders, including opiate addiction, than any other age group but are also more likely to drop out early from substance use treatment services. This project will evaluate an enhancement to usual services, delivered by peer recovery supports, specifically aimed at improving treatment adherence and reducing dropout in this age group. The study will also answer key questions about risk factors for dropout among emerging adults and the financial sustainability of enhancing services to reduce dropout.
