Peer Recovery to Improve Polysubstance Use and Mobile Telemedicine Retention
Sponsor: University of Maryland, College Park
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a peer-led, brief, behavioral intervention to improve adherence to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and reduce polysubstance use among patients with OUD and polysubstance use in underserved areas. The intervention is based on behavioral activation (BA) and is specifically designed to be implemented by a trained peer recovery specialist. In this hybrid, Type-1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of Peer Activate vs. treatment as usual (TAU) over twelve months.

Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation ("Peer Activate")
The PRS-delivered Peer Activate intervention will consist of approximately six weekly "core" sessions (approximately 30 minutes-1 hour), and then 6 optional "booster" sessions to reinforce skill practice. In Peer Activate sessions, participants will learn behavioral activation and problem-solving skills to reduce barriers to medication nonadherence and incorporate value-driven, substance-free, rewarding activities into their daily life to reduce polysubstance use and improve retention.
