Summary

This study follows 700 people with substance use disorders over two years to see how addiction symptoms, especially craving, are connected and whether those connections change as addiction severity shifts. Participants complete annual diagnostic assessments and two-week periods of daily surveys about their substance use, mood, and cravings. The goal is to identify markers that could signal when someone is moving toward a more severe stage of addiction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help identify early warning signs of worsening addiction, allowing for earlier and more targeted interventions.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find patterns that are not strong enough to reliably predict individual changes in addiction severity.
