Detailed Description:
There has been an alarming increase in abuse of prescription opioids in recent years. This project aims to develop an effective outpatient treatment for prescription opioid (PO) abuse that combines an intensive behavioral therapy with a pharmacotherapy regimen of buprenorphine detoxification and naltrexone maintenance. Aim 1) Conduct a randomized, three-parallel-groups clinical trial (Study 1) to determine a buprenorphine dose-tapering schedule that prevents the poor retention and relapse that undermine many opioid detoxification regimens. Aim 2) Conduct a randomized, three-parallel-groups clinical trial (Study 2) to determine a duration of naltrexone therapy that sustains opioid abstinence following the buprenorphine detoxification.
