Continuing Care App for Justice-Involved Individuals With Substance Use Disorders
Continuing Care App for Justice-Involved Individuals With Substance Use Disorders
The goal of this open label feasibility trial is to determine the feasibility of using a mobile continuing care app to augment community treatment for individuals under justice supervision receiving community substance use disorder treatment.
A four-week feasibility trial of the CC app with a sample individuals on probation and parole with SUDs who are receiving outpatient substance use disorder treatment will be recruited and use the app for 12 weeks during community treatment. Study participants will complete brief questionnaires at study initiation (focusing on background characteristics, treatment history, app expectations) and after the 4-week feasibility trial (focusing on their experiences with the app, usability, satisfaction, and suggestions for improvement).
Inclusion Criteria:
1) age 18 or older, 2) currently on probation or parole, 3) currently a client receiving outpatient substance use treatment at one of the three participating clinics, 4) willing to receive supplemental treatment services through a mobile app, and 5) willing to provide informed consent and complete research assessments
Exclusion Criteria:
1) Active medical history that may preclude participation (e.g., requires higher level of care; active psychosis; compromised comprehension)
