• Registration Number: NCT04030858
• Lead Sponsor: Northern Arizona University

Brief Summary

The trial will be placed within an ongoing addiction recovery program at Infinite Recovery in Austin, TX. Members with any addiction enrolling in an inpatient treatment program at Infinite Recovery will be recruited into this 1-year study to evaluate the effectiveness of a plant-based diet to aid drug and/or alcohol addiction recovery. Volunteers willing to participate in the trial will be randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. Those in the treatment group will follow the standard protocol offered by Infinite Recovery, with the exception that they will be provided with only plant-based meals. Both groups will also receive nutrition education to support their dietary plan. Several health and wellbeing endpoints will be assessed as part of the standard care at Infinite Recovery, combined with a few additional measurements described within this study protocol.
