Summary

This trial will test whether an intervention to help probation organizations improve their outcomes for clients with opioid use disorder, including introducing peer support services, is effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 on probation within the last 90 days, diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), who speak English and have a stable contact method. Probation officers and community provider staff meeting specific criteria related to their role and experience are also eligible.
What is being tested?
The study aims to improve medication outcomes for opioid use disorder in probation settings by testing a local change team intervention. It will also assess if adding Peer Support Services enhances these client-level outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on organizational interventions rather than medical treatments, it does not directly involve side effects of medications or procedures.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Randomized Trial of Peer Support Specialist ModelExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After Core implementation is complete, half of adult participants in probation who consent will be randomly assigned to a Peer Support Specialist (PSS) condition. PSS are assigned to adults diagnosed with OUD within 6 months of entry into probation, in addition to treatment as usual. PSS establish linkages to community providers (medical, mental health, substance use treatment); educate about recovery support services, transportation assistance, MOUD; provide experiential, non-clinical support to individuals with SUD; share skills, offer support for setting goals and navigating the recovery process); and provide referrals and support for treatment, housing, employment, drug court, and probation.
Group II: Implementation CoreExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
During baseline Exploration, staff organizational surveys are collected. During Preparation, staff focus groups conduct needs assessment with system mapping of linkage points for screening, assessment, and referral, and the agencies/staff involved in these activities. During Implementation, sites use facilitated local change teams (LCT) provided with a core set implementation strategies to facilitate linkages between probation agencies and local community treatment providers. The LCTs identify barriers to change, approaches to overcome barriers, do goal selection using SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, timely) goals and evidence for medications, address stigma, and clarify needs/expectations/roles of probation officers and treatment providers, then choose and implement goals and strategies. Sustainability Phase: Facilitators work with LCTs for 12 months using a written action plan based on goal selection.
Group III: Randomized to Treatment as UsualActive Control1 Intervention
After Core Implementation is complete, half of adult participants in probation who consent will be randomly assigned to continue with usual care.
