App-Based support aims to boost opioid recovery during pandemic
NCT ID NCT05405712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app that connects people in recovery from opioid use disorder with peer supporters can help them stay on track. About 1,300 adults who own a smartphone and are in recovery or treatment will use the app or receive usual care. Researchers will measure changes in recovery capital—a score that reflects resources and strengths supporting long-term recovery—over six months.
