NCT ID NCT04969081

Summary

This study is testing whether adding work-focused therapy programs to standard substance use treatment helps Veterans stay sober and function better in early recovery. Researchers are comparing Veterans who get referred to these work programs with those who receive treatment as usual. The goal is to see if having structured work activity improves sobriety rates, mental health, self-esteem, and quality of life.
