An App to Aid in Transitioning Off Opioid Medication

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Opiate Use Disorder, Opiate Withdrawal Syndrome

In brief

The investigators propose to develop a smartphone app (called BetterOFF) that will help patients manage opioid withdrawal during opioid medication taper and detoxification. The BetterOFF smartphone intervention will be a resource patients can access anytime and anywhere. If the BetterOFF intervention were to be effective in helping patients discontinue opioid medication, it could be integrated into the standard of care of office-based clinical practices, as well as substance use programs, thereby having a substantial public health impact.
