Can a special job program help people with addiction get back to work?
NCT ID NCT07520617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called ADD'Pro that combines addiction treatment with personalized job counseling to help people with substance use disorders return to work. About 100 adults will be randomly assigned to either the ADD'Pro program or standard employment services. Researchers will track how many participants find a job within 6 months, along with their quality of life and stress levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ADD'Pro Program (behavioral intervention: vocational counseling and support)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining addiction care with personalized job support helps more people with substance use disorders find and keep employment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not improve employment rates more than standard services.
