Treatments
No_intervention: Standard of Care
The control condition involves the standard mobile recovery program (MRP) protocol. The MRP MOUD-specific capabilities are providing screening and assessments; induction monitoring; maintenance buprenorphine treatment; and follow-up care. The MRP is a facilitator of MOUD induction through partnerships with 340B pharmacies. Participants in both the standard of care condition and CPSS condition will receive MRP services for OUD screening, treatment, and overdose prevention, including enrollment in MOUD treatment and provision of take-home naloxone, fentanyl and/or xylazine test strips as needed.
Experimental: Certified Peer Intervention Specialist
The intervention includes standard of care described above and also involves a participant meeting with a certified peer support specialist (CPSS) throughout MOUD initiation and early maintenance phases (up to 24 weeks post-initiation). CPSS encounters may be in-person or virtual. CPSS will track their services provided throughout the study period utilizing the newly developed checklist, incorporated into REDCap.
