Real-world effectiveness of Motivational Enhancement for Engagement in Treatment (MEET) to improve substance use disorder care transitions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Substance use disorder (SUD) treatment effectiveness relies on service continuity during care transitions (e.g., residential to outpatient). Motivational Enhancement for Engagement in Treatment (MEET) is a structured engagement-focused intervention designed to improve service utilization. This study tests the real-world effectiveness of MEET for individuals transitioning between SUD treatment settings.

Methods

Individuals receiving withdrawal management and residential SUD treatment in the San Diego County Behavioral Health Services Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System between March 2021-January 2022 were included in this study. We used logistic regression via generalized estimating equations to calculate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95 % confidence interv
