Rationale, design, and methodology of a randomized pilot trial of an integrated intervention combining computerized behavioral therapy and recovery coaching for people with opioid use disorder: The OVERCOME study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Opioid use disorder (OUD) has led to a staggering death toll in terms of drug-related overdoses. Despite the demonstrated benefits and effectiveness of buprenorphine, retention is suboptimal, and patients typically present with high rates of ongoing polysubstance use during treatment. A pilot trial provided preliminary support for the efficacy of computer-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) as an add-on to buprenorphine in reducing substance use. Recovery coaching services provided by individuals with substance use experience and successful recovery have also shown to positively influence recovery outcomes for people with OUD by increasing buprenorphine initiation and reducing opioid use.

Methods

The OVERCOME study is a randomized clinical trial (RCT) aim
