New family therapy aims to help women in court programs overcome opioid struggles

This pilot study tests whether a specially designed family therapy program is practical and well-liked by women who have opioid use disorder and are involved in the justice system. About 120 women and a family member will take part, with some receiving the therapy plus usual care and others just usual care. The goal is to see if the program is easy to use and helpful, not yet to measure health outcomes.
