This study is testing ways to expand a program called Just Care for Families (JCFF) for parents who are dealing with opioid and/or stimulant (like methamphetamine) use and are involved with the child welfare system. The study wants to see if using a special JCFF mobile app can help parents reduce their drug use and improve their family's situation, like reuniting with their children. Researchers are also looking at whether trained experts, instead of the original program developers, can successfully guide new counties in using JCFF. You might be able to join if you've misused opioids or stimulants in the last year, have a child aged 0-18 living with you or have a reunification plan, live in one of nine specific Oregon counties, have Medicaid, and can access a computer or smartphone. The study aims to enroll 254 parents, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
