Helping young adults stop opioids after an emergency visit
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study offers an engagement program for young people who tested positive for opioids and meet criteria for opioid dependence. The goal is to help participants stop opioid use safely and learn whether this approach works well in the real-world emergency setting.

This Phase 4 study tests an “emergency opioid engagement system” that aims to help people who are opioid-dependent start stopping opioid use. If you’re willing to stop and can safely participate, the program may offer structured support when you’re in the emergency setting.
This trial tests whether a program that combines medication (buprenorphine) with extra support can help people who have had an opioid overdose avoid future overdoses. If you have been seen at UAB Hospital for an opioid overdose, you may be able to join.
This study looks at offering buprenorphine through emergency medical services (EMS) to people having an opioid emergency. It aims to see if starting treatment in the field helps people get connected to long-term care.
This study tests if a reward-based program (called contingency management) helps people stick with their medication for opioid use disorder (like buprenorphine or methadone) after an emergency department visit.
This study tests a bundled approach to help adults who have had an opioid overdose and are starting buprenorphine in the emergency department continue their recovery after being discharged. It is for people who want to stay on buprenorphine and need support after leaving the hospital.
This trial tests whether starting buprenorphine using a low-dose plan is a safe and workable way to treat opioid use disorder. You may be able to join if you are 18+, have opioid use disorder, and can follow the study medication and visits.
