What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to better understand how people with opioid use disorder recover over time. Participants will contribute by completing monthly online surveys and yearly phone surveys about their substance use, mental health, and daily functioning. The insights gained will help improve future treatments for those dealing with opioid addiction. This trial suits individuals who have recently completed a clinical trial for opioid use disorder and can participate in regular online and phone surveys. As an unphased study, this trial offers participants the opportunity to contribute valuable data that could shape future recovery strategies.

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the trial "Following Outcomes Remotely Within Addiction Recovery Domains" because it explores a new approach to addiction recovery by leveraging remote monitoring technologies. Unlike traditional treatments that rely heavily on in-person therapy sessions and medication, this method uses digital tools to track patient progress and provide support from a distance. This innovative approach could offer more flexibility and accessibility for individuals in recovery, potentially leading to more personalized and consistent care. By gathering real-time data, researchers hope to gain insights into patient behaviors and recovery patterns, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of addiction treatments.
