Digital CBT vs. Standard CBT for Substance Use Disorders

This study is looking at two types of therapy for men aged 18-65 who are dealing with substance use disorders, including alcohol and stimulant use. You would either receive a digital therapy called RITch®CBT, which you can do at home, or standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a therapist. Researchers want to see if RITch®CBT is as effective as standard CBT in reducing substance use cravings. The study plans to enroll 40 men and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is a randomized study, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. A total of 40 men will participate.
What's involved
You would have one 60-minute therapy session per week for 12 weeks. This includes self-reported cravings, breath samples, and urine toxicology screens.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be checked at baseline, weekly during treatment, right after treatment, and then at 3, 6, and 9 months after treatment ends.
