Summary

This study is testing whether a mobile app called Pink Cloud can help people recovering from drug or alcohol problems stay sober. Over 1,400 adults who have completed treatment will use the app for a year, which includes a meeting finder, sobriety tracker, and planning tools. Researchers will compare their sobriety and substance use problems to a control group at 1, 3, and 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pink Cloud mobile application (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a free, easy-to-use digital tool to help people maintain sobriety and reduce relapse after treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a large but early-stage trial with self-reported outcomes, so results may be biased. The app relies on user motivation, and effectiveness may vary widely.
