Changing Opioid Users' Negative Attitudes Toward Medication Assisted Treatment

Butler Hospital

Overview

In this treatment development project, the investigators propose to develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a narrative-based video intervention and accompanying workbook (entitled MATTeRS: Medication Assisted Treatments: Telling Real Stories) designed to be used by people in inpatient opioid detoxification. Using the Health Belief Model as a framework, videos will provide information about the uses and outcomes of Medication Assisted Treatments (MATs) compared to other or no post-detoxification treatment through the use of narratives from real people's lives.
