Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Treatment Group

The intervention to be developed and tested has two components: 1) the remotely delivered IOP ("Smart IOP"), and 2) a peer recovery coach to provide support and accountability to the participant.

Interventions

Smart IOP Intervention

Smart IOP is a remotely delivered IOP program in operation since 2016, allowing patients to complete addiction treatment entirely online. The original program, consisting of 72 video modules across 8 different topics, will be adapted and tailored to hospitalized patients with serious infections from injection drug use. Participants will watch video content asynchronously, and will be required to correctly answer knowledge questions to proceed to the next module. The whole treatment program will require approximately 4 weeks to complete. Participants are also asked to answer questions about how to apply the knowledge to their own personal circumstances. The answers to these are reviewed by the peer recovery coach during weekly encounters. Videos can be viewed at a time that is most convenient to the participants. T

Peer Recovery Coach

Peer recovery coach, an individual in sustained recovery (>5 years) and certified to be a coach, will meet weekly with the participant to review progress, answer questions about the videos, review answers to questions, and encourage continuation of treatment after discharge. These meetings will occur in-person or remotely.

Primary outcome measure

  • Feasibility of the intervention program [ Time Frame: Immediately Post Intervention ]
