    Assessed over the first 180 days after study entry

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Opioid overdose risk behaviors

    Assessed over the previous 30 days at study entry and at 3 and 6 months after study entry

  • Suicide risk

    Assessed over the previous 30 days at study entry and at 3 and 6 months after study entry

Other Outcomes (15)

  • Demographics

    Assessed at enrollment

  • Alcohol use severity

    Assessed over the previous 3 months at study entry

  • Pain levels

    Assessed over the previous 7 days at enrollment and at 3 and 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Collaborative Care Plus

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention is administered to patients in this arm. Care to be delivered via collaborative care. The supplement intervention adds family involvement in care and Caring Contacts, a suicide prevention method.

Behavioral: Collaborative care Plus

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in this arm will receive enhanced usual care.

Interventions

Collaborative care consists of a team of providers that includes a care coordinator, a primary care provider (PCP) and a behavioral health consultant (BHC), who provide evidence- and measurement-based care to a panel of patients using a clinical registry. In this model, the CC team also includes a behavioral health psychotherapist (BHP) who consults on a regular basis but does not deliver direct care. In the Collaborative Care Plus condition, the care coordinator involves family in care, teaches family about naloxone use, and provides Caring Contacts, a suicide prevention method, to patients.
