Recovery coach support for people involved with the justice system
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether having a recovery coach—someone who helps you make changes to improve your health—can help you in your recovery from substance use, especially if you've been arrested, in jail, or on probation or parole in the past year. It also provides support for a loved one you choose, as long as that person is not a professional counselor or sponsor.
