Buprenorphine/Nx with EMM
Enhanced Medical Management (EMM) of Prescription Opiate Abuse
Enhanced Medical Management in Phase 1 will consist of SMM plus two individual sessions with a counselor per week (45 minutes each) through Weeks 1-4, and one 45-minute counseling visit at Week 6 and at Week 8. And in Phase 2, EMM will consist of the SMM plus two individual sessions with a counselor per week (45 minutes each) during Weeks 1-6 and one individual session with a counselor per week (45 minutes each) during Weeks 7-12. In addition, participants in Phase 1 will receive BUP/NX at between 8 to 32mg/day; tapering to zero between weeks three and four. Those referred to Phase 2 will receive up to 32 mg/day for three months tapering to zero during month four.
Buprenorphine/Nx with SMM
Standard Medical Management (SMM) of Prescription Opiate Abuse
Standard Medical Management in Phase 1 will consist of one hour-long initial visit; one individual 15-20 minute visit later in Week 1; one individual 15-20 minute visit per week through the end of Week 4; one 15-20 minute SMM visit at Week 6 and at Week 8. And in Phase 2, one 30-60 minute initial visit; one 15-20 minute follow-up visit later in Week 1; one individual session (15-20 minutes) per week through Week 12. In addition, participants in Phase 1 will receive BUP/NX at between 8 to 32mg/day; tapering to zero between weeks three and four. Those referred to Phase 2 will receive up to 32 mg/day for three months tapering to zero during month four.
