Correctional Service of Canada Pilot Trial of Digital Substance Use Disorder Interventions (PROCESS)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
In brief
Problems with substance use are common in prisoners. Since most substances are still illegal in Canada, substance use problems can increase the risk for re-incarceration. Although research suggests that treatment may reduce these risks, they are still rarely used in correctional settings. This pilot study will examine the feasibility and usefulness of two digital treatments for substance use problems in individuals recently released from prison. The investigators will compare engagement across both treatments over a 6-month period, and assess the rates of substance use relapse and re-incarceration.
