The project has the following specific aims: Primary aims: Aim 1. To engage key stakeholders in the local communities involved in supporting the transition of heroin addicts released from compulsory rehabilitation to the community; Aim 2. To identify potential barriers for participating in MMT in China; Aim 3. To develop and deliver educational/training materials on HIV risks, relapse prevention, and MMT; Aim 4. To adapt and develop the Recovery Management Intervention (RMI) program for heroin addicts released from compulsory rehabilitation in China; Aim 5. To conduct a pilot trial and obtain preliminary outcome data associated with RMI, relative to enhanced standard care. Secondary aim: Aim 6.
