Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the whether an automated telephone-based system is useful and helpful for opioid dependent patients receiving buprenorphine in primary care. The Recovery Line support system is a Therapeutic Interactive Voice Response system based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The Recovery Line support system includes a variety of modules presenting the basic principles and strategies of CBT. Each module includes learning sections and activities sections to provide direct guidance in using skills. The Recovery Line support system is interactive and also includes a questionnaire to help patients identify problems and recommend modules for use, as well as an inspiration section, an introduction, and an immediate assistance menu. Following development of an initial system the current trial will recruit 40 patients receiving buprenorphine maintenance from a physician provider in the local community. Patients will be randomly (flip of a coin) to receive the Recover Line Support system or to treatment as usual with their physician. Patients assigned to TIVR will be trained on the system and provided 24-hr access to the TIVR system for a four week period. Primary outcome variables will be how long patients remain in treatment, self-reported abstinence from opioids and other drugs, and abstinence as measured by weekly drug screens. It is expected that patients assigned to TIVR will better treatment outcomes than patients assigned to TAU.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Recovery Line Support System

Patients assigned to the Recovery Line Support System will be trained on the system and provided 24-hr access to the system for a four week period, provided with a Recovery notebook, and given reminder calls to contact the system.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Recovery Line Support System

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Full time access (24 hours/7 days per week) to an automated, telephone-based, interactive, voice response (IVR)system for 4 weeks.

The program was developed based on a behavioral theory of substance abuse, and comprises four components: 1) self-assessment 2) learning about skills , 3) activities for current help and skills training, and 4) Feedback.

Treatment as Usual

Patients assigned to the TAU condition will receive any services provided by their buprenorphine provider and any additional services that their provider refers or recommends that patients attend. No additional services will be provided by the study.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
