Recovery Management Checkup Scalability and Sustainability Hybrid Experiment
Sponsor: Chestnut Health Systems
Summary
Individuals who are involved in the criminal-legal system (CLS) are at high risk of drug-related overdose; they also face significant barriers to engaging in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support services. To address this public health challenge, this study will test the implementation and outcomes of an evidence-based intervention, Recovery Management Check-ups (RMC), delivered within community-based programs in four Chicago communities that have high rates of drug-related overdose and arrests. The study has the potential to increase uptake of RMC in community-based programs, thereby reducing overdose-related deaths and crime-related costs and improving individual health and community public health.

Recovery Management Checkups (RMC) delivered by community-based agencies (RMC adopters)
RMC services are delivered by linkage managers (LM) working under the supervision of a COMMUNITY BASED AGENCY. Core intervention components include a) comprehensive assessment of treatment need, barriers, and motivations; b) motivational interviewing focused on treatment linkage, behavioral change, and reinforcement of progress; c) follow through on treatment linkage planning, enrollment, and verification; d) commitment to and tracking of behavioral changes related to other forms of support, substance use, and overdose prevention; and e) sustained connections with clients through structured tracking and locating protocols. These core components are supported by RMC-specific tools and protocols described below. All study participants will have access to standard post-arrest services and receive RMC checkups on a fixed schedule: enrollment, 1, 3, 6, \& 9 months post enrollment (month 12 is for assessment of client outcome data only).
