SBIRT
Screening, Brief Intervention and Facilitated Referral to Treatment Brief Intervention: Brief Negotiated Intervention (BNI) is a manual-guided therapy that is designed to be feasible in the ED setting. The purpose of the BNI is to assist patients in recognizing and changing their drug use and HIV risk behaviors. It combines techniques based on motivational interviewing and a stage-model of change. The main goal of the interview is to decrease the subject's ambivalence about signing up for a formal drug treatment program.

Screening, Brief Intervention and Buprenorphine initiation Brief Intervention with Buprenorphine initiation: Brief Negotiated Intervention is a manual-guided therapy designed for ED setting. Purpose- to assist patients recognize/change drug use and HIV risks. It combines techniques based on motivational interviewing and a stage-model of change. Goal- to decrease subject's ambivalence about accepting ED initiated buprenorphine treatment. Patients inducted onto buprenorphine in ED or home, based on level of withdrawal. ED induction goal- 8 mg first day. Home induction goal- 8 mg first day. Subjects receive supportive counseling and education by trained nurses in the PCC (seen within 24-72 hours of their ED visit). Following an initial 45-minute evaluation, the physician will administer Primary Care Management (PCM) weekly for 2 weeks, then every 2 weeks for 4 weeks and then monthly.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days post randomization

Population: All subjects who were randomized to receive treatment were included in the primary analysis. 2 subjects were lost to follow up in the standard of care arm which is why 102 are included in the analysis instead of 104
