Iran. Guided smartphone-based treatment for patients in opioid maintenance treatment in Iran -transdiagnostic treatment for substance use and common mental disorders

The lifetime prevalence of opioid use in Iran is the highest worldwide (12.9%) while approximately 50% of opioid-dependent users remain unreached. In high-income countries, digital interventions have been shown to be a cost-effective approach to treat common mental health problems. In low- and middle-income countries, digital interventions have been tested to a much lesser extent. Initial results suggest that cultural adaptation is associated with larger effect sizes. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a culturally-adapted gender-sensitive integrated Community Reinforcement Approach- and CBT-based guided smartphone intervention (Promoting Recovery in Opioid Maintenance and Psychosocial Treatments; PROMPT).
