About this study

Official title: Prisma Health Clemson University

The Overcome II study is a randomized controlled trial among adults receiving sublingual buprenorphine to help prevent or reduce illicit drug use. The study outcomes will be compared between three treatment arms: (1) sublingual buprenorphine only, which is the standard-of-treatment (2) sublingual buprenorphine with a computer-based cognitive behavior therapy for substance use disorders (CBT4CBT), (3) sublingual buprenorphine with CBT4CBT and peer recovery coaching. The primary outcome of interest is the reduction in the proportion of positive results for saliva toxicology screenings for any drug during the 8-week treatment period. Study participants will also be assessed for the outcomes of retention to standard-of-treatment and illicit drug use at 1-, 3-, and 6-months follow-ups after the end of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Buprenorphine has proven to be an effective pharmacologic strategy for treating OUD. However, buprenorphine is unlikely to give greater overall protection because of the shorter duration of treatment. There is a need for studies on interventions that could increase retention to buprenorphine, especially among those with ongoing illicit substance and polysubstance use.

Using a randomized controlled trial study design, the Overcome II study aims to investigate the incremental benefit in terms of reduction in illicit drug use and retention in standard of treatment due to providing the peer recovery coach and/or CBT4CBT interventions as a compliment to standard-of-treatment among persons receiving medication for opioid use. The study outcomes will be compared between three treatment arms: (1) sublingual buprenorphine only, which is the standard-of-treatment (2) sublingual buprenorphine with CBT4CBT, (3) sublingual buprenorphine with CBT4CBT and peer recovery coaching. The primary outcome of interest is reduction in the proportion of positive results for saliva toxicology screenings for any drug during the 8-week treatment period. Study participants will also be assessed for the outcomes of retention to standard-of-treatment and illicit drug use at 1-, 3-, and 6-months follow-ups after the end of treatment. The institutional review board at Prisma Health will provide the oversight for the ethical conduct of the study. Potential participants at Prisma Health will be screened for eligibility, will undergo the informed consent procedure, and eligible persons who consent to participation will be recruited into the study.

The participants will be randomized of one of the three treatment arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. The study will aim to recruit 30 participants per treatment arm. Study procedures will be conducted both virtually and at research facilities of the Prisma Health Addiction Medicine Center, in Greenville, SC. Participants will attend the research visits once a week during the first eight weeks (sessions 1 to 8), and 1-, 3-, and 6- months after the end of treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CBT4CBTBehavioural

    Also called CBT4CBT-Buprenorphine

    This condition will integrate the standard of care and CBT4CBT interventions. The CBT4CBT is an 8-session (module) system for teaching with one module on the basics of buprenorphine and the other modules on the seven CBT core skills tailored around issues related to buprenorphine and OUD and other SUDs: (1) Introduction to functional analysis of substance use; (2) strategies for recognizing and coping with craving; (3) refusal skills and assertiveness; (4) training in problem-solving skills; (5) strategies for recognizing and changing thoughts; (6) decision-making skills; (7) how to use CBT skills to reduce HIV/ HCV risk. Each module takes 30 minutes to complete and has a format, which includes on-screen narration, animation, quizzes, and interactive exercises to teach and model effective use of skills. Modules end with a practice exercise.

  • RCBehavioural

    Also called Recovery Coaching

    Peer recovery coaching services involve a form of nonclinical, peer support aimed at helping individuals with substance use disorders to achieve and maintain recovery. Recovery coaches are individuals with experience with substance use and successful recovery. In addition to their lived experience, recovery coaches obtain formal training on substance use coaching and receive ongoing supervision. The recovery coaches use an assertive engagement approach to provide holistic, person-centered, and strength-based support.

  • Sandard of careBehavioural

    Participants in the standard of care condition will receive the standard treatment at the recovery program, which consists of weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits (at the discretion of the provider) in-person or virtually. This condition will be matched with the other conditions in terms of the number of research visits.
