What this Trial Is About
Opioid overdose deaths have reached historically high records in the United States and are particularly concentrated among patients after emergency department (ED) discharge. Evidence-based treatment modules to reduce repeat opioid overdose and mortality are lacking in this patient population. A bundled intervention is proposed, including telehealth, peer support specialist, buprenorphine, and linkage for definitive care, that is designed to increase treatment uptake in this patient population post-ED discharge, reduce repeat opioid overdoses, and end overdose deaths.
