Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Researchers will compare two groups: (1) standard care combined with a peer recovery support program, and (2) standard care alone, to see if peer recovery support works to improve retention in medication treatment for opioid use disorder.
Participants will: visit clinics as they normally would to receive standard care (medication treatment for opioid use disorder); complete two questionnaires - one when they start treatment and one 6 months later; and agree to let researchers use information from their medical record. Participants in group 1 will also be invited to meet with a peer recovery support specialist for up to 6 months.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard Care
Study participants will receive the standard care - medication treatment for opioid use disorder
No interventions assigned to this group
Standard Care + Peer Recovery Support
In addition to standard care (medication treatment for opioid use disorder), study participants will receive support provided by a peer recovery support specialist
Peer recovery support to enhance patient engagement in medication for opioid use disorder treatment
The intervention adds a peer recovery support (PRS) program to standard outpatient medication for opioid use disorder treatment and medical care. The PRS program will entail meeting one-on-one with a peer recovery specialist over a 6-month period, who will utilize their lived experience with substance use and recovery to provide emotional, informational, instrumental, and affiliational support to participants.
