Summary

This trial is looking at two different methods to treat opioid use disorder in emergency department patients. They want to see if a standard dose or a high dose induction method leads to more patients seeking treatment within

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD), who have tested positive for opioids and are not currently on opioid withdrawal treatments. Participants must speak English, be able to consent, and commit to the study's follow-up process. Those with ongoing opioid prescriptions, prior study enrollment, in custody, or with conditions needing hospitalization can't join.
What is being tested?
The trial compares two methods of starting Buprenorphine treatment in emergency department patients: a Standard Dose Induction (SDI) versus a High Dose Induction (HDI). It aims to see which method leads to better engagement in OUD treatment after discharge and assesses withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings.
What are the potential side effects?
Buprenorphine may cause side effects like nausea, drowsiness, constipation, headache, sweating, decreased libido or respiratory issues. The high dose induction being tested could potentially amplify these effects.
