Sponsor's own description

Contingency Management interventions provide incentives to substance abuse patients when patients meet therapeutic goals. This project will compare the effectiveness of two Contingency Management interventions (which the investigators have named "Buprenorphine Adherence and Opiate Abstinence" and "Buprenorphine Adherence Only") and Standard Medical Management for treating adults with opioid use disorder. Participants (N=375) will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Buprenorphine Adherence and Opiate Abstinence and Buprenorphine Adherence Only participants will receive incentives for daily buprenorphine use. Buprenorphine Adherence and Opiate Abstinence participants also will receive incentives for providing opiate-negative saliva samples. Daily buprenorphine use and opiate abstinence will both be remotely verified using smartphone-enabled video directly observed therapy (Video DOT). All participants will be receiving or referred to receive buprenorphine treatment and will complete assessments every 4 weeks during a 12-week intervention period.
