New treatment option for Substance Use Disorder
Official title Personalized Approach to Healthy Use and Recovery (PATH) Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06580457
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- An important part of substance use treatment for many people is learning what triggers their substance use and urges, and how they can better manage those triggers. In this study, the investigators will generate a model for each individual that shows likely causal links between their substance use, urges, and comorbid symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, and PTSD), and the investigators will examine these models as a group to draw conclusions about common causes for substance use (and recovery) among Veterans with substance use disorders.
