Summary

This study looks at whether a mobile peer support app can help people who have been in jail or prison and are recovering from opioid use disorder feel more connected and less lonely. About 90 adults who recently took medication for opioid use disorder while incarcerated will use the app after release. Researchers will measure changes in loneliness, social support, and substance use to see if digital peer support improves recovery outcomes.
