Summary

This study tests a mobile health app called uMAT-R, designed to help Black adults recover from opioid or stimulant use and manage depression or anxiety. Participants are recruited from community treatment centers and use the app to track substance use and mental health symptoms. The trial compares two versions of the app—one with extra community support—to see which better promotes abstinence and reduces symptoms.
