ClinConnect Summary

**Summary of the Substance Abuse Pre-Treatment Screening Study**

This clinical trial is designed to help people who are struggling with substance abuse, including issues with cocaine, opiates, and alcohol. The main goal of the study is to create a simple and efficient way for individuals to get the right treatment and find the best clinical trial that fits their needs. By bringing everyone together for a consistent screening process, the researchers hope to streamline how people get help and gather important information that can improve future treatments.

If you're at least 18 years old, generally healthy, and looking for treatment for substance use, you may be eligible to participate. The study is open to anyone, regardless of gender, and aims to recruit participants for a treatment program lasting between 3 to 6 months. However, individuals who are pregnant, not actively seeking treatment, or required by a court to attend treatment cannot join. Participants can expect to go through a screening process, and if eligible, receive tailored treatment options that can support their recovery journey. This is a great opportunity to get the help you need in a supportive environment.
