Removing Barriers: Community Partnering for Innovative Solutions to the Opioid Crisis
This study is looking at how providing free legal services can help people recovering from opioid use disorder. Many people face legal issues like unpaid fines or missed court dates, which can make it harder to find jobs, housing, and stay in treatment. This study, called "Removing Barriers to Recovery," will offer no-cost legal help in person at addiction treatment centers, using an online platform. We want to see if this support helps reduce how often and how much people misuse substances over one year. You can join if you are 18 or older and currently receiving treatment for substance use disorder. The study aims to enroll 800 participants, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Frequency of substance misuse1 year
Consulting electronic medical records, we measure how frequently the participant report using substance(s). Daily rates will be recorded or calculated if frequency of use is recorded in weekly, monthly, or annual terms.
- Quantity of substance(s)1 year
Consulting electronic medical records, what is the mean quantity/measurement of substance(s) reported by participant per use. For alcohol, this is mean number of drinks per day(indicate beer, wine, liquor). For drugs this should be recorded in the standard measurement commonplace to that specific drug as recorded in the medical record, such as marijuana use in mean grams per day.
