Inpatient Link to Addiction Recovery

October 31, 2024 updated by: Prerana Roth, Prisma Health-Upstate

Inpatient Link to Addiction Recovery- a Pilot Program

The objective of this proposal is to link inpatients to a certified peer support specialist through FAVOR-Greenville and determine the effectiveness of recovery coaching on patient outcomes.This study will evaluate the impact of initiating peer recovery coaching during SUD patients' hospitalization on engagement in recovery services, addiction severity, and quality of life compared to the current standard of care.

Detailed Description

The United States is in the midst of a drug overdose crisis: the rate of substance use, overdose, and substance abuse-related economic costs is rapidly increasing. Despite the prevalence of Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD), only 10% of SUD patients receive treatment. The initial link into care is often one of the hardest barriers to overcome due to wait times, complex systems to navigate, and fluctuating motivation. Hospitalization is often a time when patients are more receptive to SUD treatment. One potential effective treatment approach is peer recovery support services. Currently at Greenville Memorial Hospital, there is no direct link between hospitalization and outpatient care for patients with SUD, making it difficult to start or continue the recovery process. Thus, the goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the initiation of peer recovery services during hospitalization on addiction severity and quality of life. By establishing a successful inpatient link to recovery treatment, this study may lead to the development of an effective method of care that can readily be implemented into the healthcare system.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Recovery Coach Intervention
Participants randomized to the intervention arm are linked to a recovery peer coach while they are in the hospital. Recovery peer coaches are provided to the participant by Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) - Greenville. Recovery coaches are Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS), individuals who have firsthand experience in successful recovery and are trained in using recovery-oriented tools to help peers overcome addiction. FAVOR offers immediate access to a personal coach, a local center, and assistance to off-site intervention and recovery resources in the community. They provide twice weekly contact with participants.
Behavioral: Recovery Coach Intervention
Participants randomized to the intervention arm are linked to a recovery peer coach while they are in the hospital. Recovery peer coaches are provided to the participant by Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) - Greenville. Recovery coaches are Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS), individuals who have firsthand experience in successful recovery and are trained in using recovery-oriented tools to help peers overcome addiction. FAVOR offers immediate access to a personal coach, a local center, and assistance to off-site intervention and recovery resources in the community. They provide twice weekly contact with participants.
No Intervention: Standard of Care Control
Patients in the control condition receive the current standard of care, which entails a treatment referral with a list of addiction recovery facilities, groups, and resources. It is the patient's responsibility to call a treatment facility or group on the list and thus relies on self-referral. The medical team is not permitted to call a facility or group on behalf of the patient. The physician may counsel the patient on the dangers of substance abuse and addiction, but the extent of counseling is variable and dependent on the individual physician.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Engagement in Recovery Services
Time Frame: intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment
Active involvement in recovery care services, including but not limited to Alcoholics Anonymous Narcotics Anonymous, individual counseling, methadone/suboxone program, etc. This information is obtained from self-report surveys administered by medical students in both conditions at both baseline and each follow-up.
intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment
Change in Substance Use Frequency
Time Frame: intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment
Frequency of substance use assessed using the 13-item Addiction Severity Index (ASI-Lite). The scale asks how many days in the last 30 days participants used each of several substances. The range of responses is 0 - 30 with higher scores indicating higher/greater severity of substance use.
intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Self-Reported Quality of Life Assessment
Time Frame: intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment
The 12-item Health-Related Quality of Life Short Form (SF-12) is used to obtain self-report information on participants' satisfaction with physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects of their lives.Physical and Mental Health Composite Scores on the SF-12 are calculated using the score of all questions and range from 0 - 100. A zero score indicates the poor health and 100 indicates the highest level of health.
intervals of 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-baseline assessment
