Coordinating Opioid Use Treatment Through Medical Management With Infection Treatment (Project COMMIT)

ID/LAB is the new model in which OUD is managed by Infectious Disease (ID) specialists and/or Hospitalists concurrent with management of the infectious diseases, using long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAB).

TAU is designed to systematize what is the current practice at the participating hospitals and in most U.S. hospitals while offering a minimum standard of care. TAU will constitute recommendation for MOUD initiation and consultation for addiction medicine when available; in practice, it is typically detoxification from opioids and referral to community-based addiction treatment after hospital discharge.
