CBT4CBT for Office Based Buprenorphine

January 2, 2023 updated by: CBT4CBT, LLC

A Method to Increase Buprenorphine Treatment Capacity

In this Phase II SBIR/STTR project, our Specific Aim will be to determine if the use of CBT4CBT-Buprenorphine leads to clinically significant improved outcomes and increased retention for buprenorphine maintenance patients in a larger and diverse population of individuals seeking buprenorphine treatment in primary care (N=100).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this phase, 100 individuals entering buprenorphine maintenance at the primary care clinic (Central Medical Unit, CMU) will be randomized to either (1) standard buprenorphine maintenance in which counseling is offered on site, or (2) standard buprenorphine maintenance with CBT4CBT-Buprenorphine substituting for on-site counseling. This will be a 12-week trial.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Standard Buprenorphine
Participants assigned to this arm will received buprenorphine treatment consistent with standard practice at the study site. This includes induction by a physician, regular meetings with a physician for medical management, urine monitoring, and prescription of buprenorphine, with access to behavioral support services.
Standard outpatient buprenorphine maintenance
Experimental: Standard Buprenorphine plus CBT4CBT-Buprenorphine
Participants in this condition will receive Standard Buprenorphine as described above, with the addition of access to the CBT4CBT-Buprenorphine program, which is a web-based program that covers basic knowledge about buprenorphine treatment as well as teaches cognitive and behavioral coping skills.
Standard outpatient buprenorphine maintenance
Computerized, user-driven cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) web-based program adapted for use in office based buprenorphine treatment
