Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment as usual (TAU)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
TAU for opioid use disorder consists of a mix of medication treatment and individual and group therapy services across various levels of care: inpatient, residential, and outpatient. Residential treatment is for adults who have completed detoxification and require additional treatment in a structured environment. Inpatient treatment includes short-term care and detoxification treatment and incorporates a combination of group, family, and individual therapy targeted at medical stabilization, reducing the severity of the patient's symptoms, and providing resources and ongoing support to prevent relapse. Outpatient treatment is focused on comprehensive evaluation and stabilization.
Group II: Gender-specific digital intervention plus treatment as usual (GSDI+TAU)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
GSDI + TAU includes the addition of a gender-specific digital intervention (GSDI) to treatment as usual. The GSDI has a web-based component and a mobile component. The web-based portion of the GSDI includes: (1) gender-specific psychoeducation on substance use disorders, (2) specific education on opioid use disorder, including information about medication treatment for opioid use disorder, and (3) information on relapse-prevention skills. Participants complete the web-based portion immediately after completing baseline assessments. The mobile component includes three parts: (1) weekly self-report surveys of opioid and other substance use and medication adherence, (2) weekly skills-practice exercises, and (3) daily motivational messages encouraging self-care. Participants engage with the mobile component after completing the web-based portion until the end of the study (12 weeks).
