Many buprenorphine treatment programs do not have services dedicated to adolescents and young adults. As a precursor to developing and evaluating an adolescent and young adult buprenorphine treatment program at APT Foundation Inc, we propose to conduct a 1 year prospective study of 16 to 25 year old treatment-seeking individuals enrolled in the APT Adolescent and Young Adult Suboxone Program
Participants will consent to in-person assessments and monthly chart reviews. We anticipate that the results from this study will inform the development of future services targeted towards adolescents and young adults with opioid dependence.
