Study Background
In 2019, nearly 50,000 people in the United States died from opioid-involved overdoses. The existing treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) focus on preventing craving and withdrawal symptoms but do not fully address the risk for relapse.

Thus, researchers believe that there is a growing need to develop new treatment options for OUD. This research study explores the short-term effects of cannabinoids among persons with OUD who are receiving treatment with methadone or buprenorphine.
