Summary
Patients with opioid use disorder seeking medication-assisted treatment will be recruited.
Each participant will be allocated to one of the two study groups with the equal chance of
receiving either opium tincture (OT) or methadone. Participants, clinical and research staff
will not be aware of the medication that each patient receives. This study aims to test
whether OT is as equally effective as methadone at retaining participants with opioid use
disorder in medication-assisted treatment.
