SUPeRAD Expansion

The University of Utah’s Substance Use & Pregnancy—Recovery, Addiction, and Dependence (SUPeRAD) Clinic has recently expanded to three locations, now including a new site in the Rose Park neighborhood in Salt Lake City, UT.

In partnership with the Greater Intermountain Node, the SUPeRAD Clinic played a key role in participant recruitment for CTN-0080: Medication Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder in Expectant Mothers (MOMs) Study. Thanks to SUPeRAD’s efforts, the Greater Intermountain Node was the top recruiting site for the study. Help us in congratulating the SUPeRAD team on this exciting expansion! You can hear highlights from the ribbon-cutting ceremony on the podcast Let’s Talk About Drugs in the Intermountain West.
