Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a manualized in-hospital recovery coach intervention on rates of post-discharge treatment retention and alcohol use among hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder.

Conditions

Alcohol Use Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Treatment retention in substance use disorder treatment

  Following discharge, the electronic health record of the participant will be examined to confirm whether the participant was successfully seen at the Brigham and Women's Hospital Bridge Clinic or the Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital Addiction Recovery Program by checking the visit notes. The proportion of participants who are successfully linked will be calculated.

  4 weeks following hospitalization discharge date

Study Arms (1)

In-Hospital Recovery Coach Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

As this is a single-arm, open-label study, all subjects will receive the interventional arm, specifically in-hospital manualized sessions with the recovery coach.

Behavioral: In-Hospital Recovery Coach Intervention

Interventions

In-Hospital Recovery Coach Intervention BEHAVIORAL

The recovery coach will meet with the patient at least once during the hospital admission, during which he/she will reinforce the importance of continuing medication treatments, if initiated, as well as community and social supports for recovery and will discuss the plan for engaging in these services. This will include recommendations for suitable community resources for recovery services, or for housing, transportation, or other external barriers that may make it more difficult to engage in outpatient treatment. The recovery coach will encourage the participant to complete a relapse prevention plan, and help the patient organize post-discharge appointments and review medications. If applicable, family members and significant others will be encouraged to be present for these encounters.
