Can a facebook group help native women beat opioid relapse?
NCT ID NCT05995886
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a private Facebook group, called Wiidookaage'Win, can help Native American women in Minnesota stay off opioids. The group includes social support, mindfulness, and cultural practices. Sixty women who are already on medication for opioid use and have been abstinent for at least a month will take part. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and engaging, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group (a private online social support group with mindfulness and cultural practices)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a low-cost, culturally tailored way to help Native American women maintain recovery from opioid use disorder.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (60 people) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
