Area of Science:

  • Digital health interventions
  • Substance use disorder treatment
  • Justice-involved populations

Background:

  • Individuals under justice supervision often face barriers to sustained substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery.
  • Mobile applications offer a potential avenue for delivering accessible recovery support.
  • There is a need for user-centered digital tools to support this underserved population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Continuing Care mobile application (app).
  • To evaluate the app's utility for meeting the recovery and personal support needs of justice-supervised adults in outpatient SUD treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot proof-of-concept study involving 15 adults on probation or parole in outpatient SUD treatment.
  • Participants used the Continuing Care app daily for 4 weeks.
  • Feasibility and acceptability were measured through app utilization and a post-study satisfaction questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • 12 out of 15 (80%) participants completed the study and app modules.
  • All completers reported high satisfaction with the Continuing Care app (Mean=1.8/10).
  • The app was well-utilized and perceived as valuable by this low-income, underserved population.

Conclusions:

  • The Continuing Care app is a feasible and acceptable tool for supporting recovery in justice-supervised adults with SUD.
  • The app demonstrates potential value for enhancing and extending SUD treatment benefits.
  • Further research should focus on refining app content and evaluating its long-term impact.
