Support Towards Addiction Recovery for Individuals With Criminal Legal System Involvement: The STAR Project
1 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Martha Tillson
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a new, paired coaching intervention improves outcomes for individuals with criminal legal system involvement recovering from substance use disorder, as well as the loved ones of those individuals. The initial phase (Year 1) includes a small preliminary pilot examining the feasibility of the intervention.
During the full clinical trial (Years 2-5), this study aims to answer whether this approach...
- ...improves the recovering person's recovery capital?
- ...improves well-being, as well as resource knowledge and awareness, for the loved one?
- ...improves social support and connection among both individuals?
Participants will:
- Meet regularly one-on-one with their individual coaches (a Recovery Coach for the recovering person; a Loved One Coach for the loved one) during the 6 week intervention period
- Meet regularly as a group of four (both coaches and both participants) during this same period
- Complete follow-up interviews with research staff at 6- and 12-weeks after beginning the study
