Clinical Trial Description

SASH is a clinical trial feasibility study that will provide an housing stipend for 8 individuals (N=8) experience homelessness and currently being treated for OUD to improve OUD treatment outcomes, QOL, and housing outcomes. To achieve these goals, patients will receive monthly $500 housing stipends that can be used for a broad range of temporary housing included in a list of resources compiled by the study. These stipends will be accompanied by Social Work assistance to find permanent housing which will last the full 12 months of the study. SASH will recruit OUD patients receiving MOUD who are struggling with homelessness, defined as living in an emergency shelter or a place not meant for habitation instead of a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This definition is consistent with the one used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The patients will be recruited from the University of Maryland Addiction Treatment Program (ATP), a certified Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment program that provides MOUD and collocates medical care, wellness programs, and research. Patients will be eligible for SASH if they experienced homelessness during at least 15 of the 30 days preceding the dispensing of the first month's stipends.SASH will accomplish its goals using the following aims and objectives: AIM 1: Improve OUD outcomes - Hypothesis 1a: Patients will miss fewer methadone doses and receive more take-home methadone doses after receiving the stipends and Social Work assistance Endpoint: Percentages of missed and take-home methadone doses, as recorded by the software tracking methadone-dispensing at the ATP, in the 3-month period before the study, between Month 3 and 6 of the study, and between Month 9 and 12 of the study - Hypothesis 1b: Patients will experience an improvement in their OUD after receiving the stipends and Social Work assistance Endpoint: OUD Checklist scores completed at Day 0, Month 6, and Month 12 of the study - Hypothesis 1c: Patients will use fewer opioids and illicit substances after receiving the stipends and Social Work assistance Endpoint: Monthly urine toxicology tests (UTT) three months before study entry and monthly during the study AIM 2: Improve QOL - Hypothesis 2a: Patients will experience improvement in QOL during the study Endpoint: SF-36 scores at Day 0, Month 6, and Month 12 of the study - Hypothesis 2b: Patients will report benefit from receiving the stipends and Social Work assistance AIM 3: Prevent homelessness - Hypothesis 3a: The monthly $500 stipends will prevent patients from being homeless Endpoint: Percentage of days patients are homeless during the 6-month period stipends are distributed - Hypothesis 3b: Patients will be in housing by the end of the study Endpoint: Percentage of patients who are homeless or in either permanent or temporary housing by Month 12 of the study ;
