Summary

This small pilot study tests a new coaching program where a person recovering from substance use disorder and a loved one each work with their own coach, then meet together as a group. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it improves recovery resources, well-being, and social support. Only 8 participants are enrolled initially, so this is an early feasibility test.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: STAR Intervention (paired coaching model)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a practical support program that helps people with addiction and legal system involvement stay in recovery, while also helping their loved ones.
What could go wrong: This is a very early, tiny pilot study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
