ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for people in Black and Latinx communities who are struggling with substance use, particularly alcohol and opioids. The study aims to find effective ways to help individuals engage with treatment options that can support their recovery and improve their mental health.

To be eligible to participate, individuals must identify as Black or Latinx, have been using alcohol or opioids within the last 30 days, and be interested in reducing their substance use. Participants will be involved in developing and testing new methods of treatment in their communities. This is an important chance for those who want to make a change in their lives and receive support tailored to their cultural needs. If you or someone you know fits these criteria and is interested, this study may provide valuable resources for recovery.
