A Naturalistic Study of Adolescents and Young Adults in Treatment for Opioid Dependence

June 26, 2018 updated by: Yale University
Many buprenorphine treatment programs do not have services dedicated to adolescents and young adults. As a precursor to developing and evaluating an adolescent and young adult buprenorphine treatment program at APT Foundation Inc, we propose to conduct a 1 year prospective study of 16 to 25 year old treatment-seeking individuals enrolled in the APT Adolescent and Young Adult Suboxone Program
