Integrating Support Persons Into Recovery

INtegrated Support Persons Into Recovery (INSPIRE) is a 4-year research project that tests whether integrating a patient's support person into a patient's treatment with Buprenorphine/Naloxone can improve outcomes. The study will examine whether a counseling program called CRAFT for a support person, such as a family member, spouse or friend, can improve patient outcomes.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
