Summary

The program adds group and individual therapy to standard medication treatment. Researchers will see if it helps women stay in treatment longer and improves their mental health and recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: behavioral therapy (Present-Centered Therapy and Helping to Overcome PTSD through Empowerment)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that adding trauma-focused therapy to standard medication treatment helps more women stay in recovery from opioid use disorder.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may be modest. The study is still recruiting and outcomes depend on participant engagement and follow-up.
