Linking Individuals Needing Care for Substance Use Disorders to Peer Coaches & Across INcarceration Settings
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
The goal of this study is to learn whether a virtual peer recovery coach (PRC) intervention can improve engagement in addiction treatment among incarcerated adults with substance use disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the PRC intervention increase engagement with at least one recovery resource at 30 and 90 days? * Does it improve secondary outcomes such as substance use, recovery capital, overdose events, and recidivism? Researchers will compare Treatment-as-Usual with the PRC telehealth intervention to see if PRC support improves engagement in addiction care. Participants will: * Complete baseline and follow-up assessments * Receive either Treatment-as-Usual or a virtual PRC session focused on motivational interviewing and linkage to recovery resources
