PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This study will implement evidence-based treatment in correctional settings by comparing the effectiveness of two medications used to treat opioid use disorder, extended-release buprenorphine (XR-B) vs. extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX), among adults currently incarcerated in U.S. jails and prisons at five trial sites: New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Delaware. This study will allow providers, correctional and public health authorities, payers and policy makers’ timely and relevant data to assess the effectiveness of XR-B (as well as XR-NTX) as a potentially useful re-entry treatment option.
