Mobile Psychosocial Interventions for MMT Clients

NCT01632982 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 219

Last updated 2017-09-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will develop and evaluate the preliminary efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a mobile phone-delivered psychosocial intervention for opioid-dependent adults (N=219) in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). A three-arm, randomized clinical trial will evaluate the relative efficacy of: (1) standard MMT; (2) standard MMT plus the mobile intervention; and (3) a mobile-based control condition on the primary outcomes of treatment retention and opioid use (assessed via urine toxicology). If results are promising, this novel therapeutic tool may have a tremendous impact on improving access to and effectiveness of substance abuse treatment in a variety of other populations (and could also be adapted for an array of other behavioral health applications), while significantly limiting costs.
