Summary
This study looked at whether an online cognitive behavioral therapy program, called Breaking Free Online, helps people with substance use disorder cut back on their drug or alcohol use. About 200 adults from an outpatient addiction program took part. Some got standard care with group support, others got the online program, and some got the online program plus one-on-one peer support. The goal was to see if the online tools and extra support made a real difference in reducing substance use.
