Mindfulness App for Opioid Use Disorder and Chronic Pain

This study is testing a smartphone app called "Mindful Journey" for adults who have both opioid use disorder and chronic pain. The app teaches mindfulness skills through lessons, brief check-in surveys, and guided mindfulness coaching. A staff member will also check in with you weekly by phone. The main goal is to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for people with these conditions. You can join if you are 18 or older, speak English, are receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, have bothersome chronic pain, and own a smartphone. The study is currently unclear about its status and plans to enroll 10 participants.
