New digital app aims to curb cocaine and meth use
NCT ID NCT07221396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a web-based program called LDART for adults with stimulant use disorder (cocaine or methamphetamine). The program includes daily goal setting, motivational messages from people in recovery, and links to support groups. Researchers want to see if it's feasible and acceptable, and whether it helps reduce stimulant use. The study enrolls 80 adults in Connecticut who use stimulants frequently and want to cut down.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LDART (web-based digital intervention with goal setting, motivational messages, and recovery group information)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a low-cost, accessible digital tool to help people reduce or stop stimulant use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants in one state, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is still being tested for feasibility and may not lead to lasting behavior change.
