Utilizing Helpline for Opioid Dependence Treatment
22. maj 2026 opdateret af: Nassima Ait-Daoud Tiouririne, University of Virginia
The investigator propose to develop an opioid telephone helpline, where trained counselors and educators provide referral, educational and targeted interventions and support to individuals interested in addressing their addiction or needing help with managing their pain.
The proposed application builds on "tobacco quit line" efforts, a nationally-adopted telephone-based service, providing education materials, access to cessation medication and counseling against tobacco use.
Similar to tobacco quit line; the proposed telephone based services will remove barriers to treatment as they help individuals at the exact time of need.
The helpline will also educate individuals with new onset pain about pain expectations, relaxation techniques, use of pharmacology and psychotherapy for treatment in addition to providing support for coping and reducing dependency on prescription opioids.
It will be a low cost, easily accessible and utilizable technology to augment the clinical outcome of medication assisted treatment of opioid use disorder and pain management.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
The proposed specific aims are to:
- Test if the helpline is a resourceful tool for patients with opioid use disorder looking for referrals and support to access treatment. The opioid helpline will provide individuals with opioid use disorder seeking treatment, direct access to a live person who can answer questions regarding referrals and various treatment programs. The helpline will also follow-up on treatment compliance and offer support and motivational techniques for these individuals to stay engaged in treatment
- Test if the helpline is a resourceful tool for patients with new onset of pain or chronic pain being prescribed opioids. The opioid helpline will provide these individuals the necessary educational materials on managing pain safely while avoiding misuse. It will offer free imagery guided meditation and other non-pharmacological tools to help with pain management.
- Test if providers find the opioid helpline helpful and resourceful for their practice and are willing to refer patients to the helpline.

The providers will be educated regarding the goals and objectives of the helpline: Any specialty physicians, nurses including dentists that prescribes opioids within Virginia They will be asked to have flyers about the helpline in their office and refer patients who are prescribed opioids to get more support from the helpline.

This helpline will aim to provide patients with new diagnosis of pain who are prescribed opioids, access to education, support and free behavioral technique to help manage their pain such as mindfulness exercises.
For those with opioid use disorder, the helpline will offer support in the form of education about the disorder, opioid withdrawal symptoms, risks of overdoses, and a variety of services such as help reach appropriate care with MAT licensed providers, information on FDA-approved MAT and naloxone, and, in some cases, behavioral intervention to keep patients engaged in treatment.
