Summary
This study tested a digital version of a family training program called CRAFT. It was designed to help concerned family members (called CSOs) encourage a loved one with opioid use disorder to enter treatment. 45 adults who had a loved one struggling with opioid use participated. The goal was to see if the online training could increase treatment admission rates and improve family well-being.
