Leveraging Regulatory Flexibility for Methadone Take-Home Dosing to Improve Retention in Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
Using a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial, the study will test whether a clinic-level multidimensional intervention conducted in 36 opioid treatment programs (OTPs) will improve clinical decision making, regulatory confusion, legal liability concerns, capacity for clinical practice change, and financial barriers to take- home dosing (THD) for methadone as compared to treatment as usual.

Clinic-Level Multidimensional Intervention
The proximal goal of the intervention will be to increase OTP uptake of flexible THD. The intervention addresses facilitators and barriers to THD practices as identified by existing studies as well as those found during the first phase of the current project. The intervention will be designed to address the information gaps, training needs, and beliefs of individuals across the organizations.
