Increasing Access to Evidence-based Treatment for Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder: Adapting Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Opioid Treatment Programs

Brief summary (from the registry)

The overarching goal of this study was to provide patient-centered treatment for chronic pain in opioid treatment programs (OTPs). Chronic pain (CP) is highly prevalent among people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who attend OTPs, with 64% of OTP patients experiencing CP and 37% reporting severe CP. OTP patients are required to attend programs frequently for medication administration, which makes the OTP an ideal location to deliver pain treatment; however, in a large national survey of people entering OUD treatment, only one-third of patients had CP treated in their program. People with OUD attending OTPs are highly marginalized and may lack access to multimodal pain management and mental health services. Integrating evidence-based treatments for CP and its associated comorbidities (such as anxiety and depression) into OTPs could have broad impact.
