Study Background

Researchers at Maryland Treatment Centers are conducting a clinical pilot project to get young people using opioids to initiate treatment.

This project will provide resources to people related to/in a relationship with someone (under 30 years old) with an opioid problem. A therapist will engage with the significant other to provide coaching, support groups, and online tools aimed at getting their loved one into treatment.

The free clinical services provided by a therapist help build opioid recovery support networks to engage and retain young adults struggling with opioids.
