Overview

Brief Summary

The objective of this pilot intervention study is to iteratively refine motivational interviewing and psychosocial intervention programs delivered via telehealth (Teletx) to help improve substance use and other related outcomes in SUD patients who are not receiving SUD care. We will examine feasibility and acceptability of these pilot psychosocial programs in a total of n=50 participants. The goal is to refine the programs to improve acceptability and feasibility and collect preliminary data for a future fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the future.

In addition to study sessions, participants that are enrolled in the study will complete surveys prior to, during, and after treatment.
