Brief Summary

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

The objective of this proposal is to link inpatients to a certified peer support specialist through FAVOR-Greenville and determine the effectiveness of recovery coaching on patient outcomes.This study will evaluate the impact of initiating peer recovery coaching during SUD patients' hospitalization on engagement in recovery services, addiction severity, and quality of life compared to the current standard of care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The United States is in the midst of a drug overdose crisis: the rate of substance use, overdose, and substance abuse-related economic costs is rapidly increasing. Despite the prevalence of Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD), only 10% of SUD patients receive treatment. The initial link into care is often one of the hardest barriers to overcome due to wait times, complex systems to navigate, and fluctuating motivation. Hospitalization is often a time when patients are more receptive to SUD treatment. One potential effective treatment approach is peer recovery support services. Currently at Greenville Memorial Hospital, there is no direct link between hospitalization and outpatient care for patients with SUD, making it difficult to start or continue the recovery process. Thus, the goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the initiation of peer recovery services during hospitalization on addiction severity and quality of life. By establishing a successful inpatient link to recovery treatment, this study may lead to the development of an effective method of care that can readily be implemented into the healthcare system.

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

The investigator/study personnel inform the participant regarding which arm they have been assigned and inform a recovery coach if the participant is randomized to the intervention arm.

Study Groups

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

Recovery Coach Intervention

Participants randomized to the intervention arm are linked to a recovery peer coach while they are in the hospital. Recovery peer coaches are provided to the participant by Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) - Greenville. Recovery coaches are Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS), individuals who have firsthand experience in successful recovery and are trained in using recovery-oriented tools to help peers overcome addiction. FAVOR offers immediate access to a personal coach, a local center, and assistance to off-site intervention and recovery resources in the community. They provide twice weekly contact with participants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Recovery Coach Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants randomized to the intervention arm are linked to a recovery peer coach while they are in the hospital. Recovery peer coaches are provided to the participant by Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) - Greenville. Recovery coaches are Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS), individuals who have firsthand experience in successful recovery and are trained in using recovery-oriented tools to help peers overcome addiction. FAVOR offers immediate access to a personal coach, a local center, and assistance to off-site intervention and recovery resources in the community. They provide twice weekly contact with participants.

Standard of Care Control

Patients in the control condition receive the current standard of care, which entails a treatment referral with a list of addiction recovery facilities, groups, and resources. It is the patient's responsibility to call a treatment facility or group on the list and thus relies on self-referral. The medical team is not permitted to call a facility or group on behalf of the patient. The physician may counsel the patient on the dangers of substance abuse and addiction, but the extent of counseling is variable and dependent on the individual physician.
