Summary

This trial will test whether a team approach to treating people with substance abuse and mental health disorders is more effective than treating them with medication for substance abuse alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults fluent in English or Spanish with opioid use disorder (OUD) and a co-occurring mental health disorder like depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, bipolar, or schizophrenia. Participants can be new to treatment or have relapsed while on medications such as buprenorphine or naltrexone. Excluded are those acutely psychotic/suicidal/homicidal, severely addicted to alcohol needing detoxification, or unable to consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests the MISSION model—a comprehensive care approach—against standard medication treatments for OUD alone. It examines if adding MISSION's therapy and support services improves patient engagement and outcomes in substance use and mental health over just using medications like buprenorphine/naltrexone.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, interventions may include typical risks associated with behavioral therapies and peer support activities. Medications for OUD could cause nausea, headaches, dizziness among others; however these will vary based on individual conditions.
