Objective
The goal of this study was to elucidate key elements surrounding the acceptability/feasibility and structure of an interactive computer- and text message–delivered personalized feedback intervention for adults initiating outpatient buprenorphine treatment.
Findings/Key points
Overall, adults engaged in outpatient buprenorphine treatment were receptive to an interactive computer- and text messaged–delivered personalized feedback intervention to support recovery. Incorporating thematic results on suggested structural changes may increase the usability of this intervention to improve treatment outcomes by reducing illicit opioid use, increasing adherence/retention, and preventing future overdose and other complications of illicit opioid use.
Design/methods
Twenty-four adults engaged in treatment at two outpatient addiction treatment centers completed semistructured interviews exploring preferences around digital health interventions.
