Summary
This early-stage study is testing a smartphone app called NEAT-O that provides cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to adults with opioid use disorder who also have anxiety or depression. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and acceptable to patients. If successful, it will lead to a larger study to measure its effectiveness in reducing opioid use and improving mental health.
