Associations between baseline opioid use disorder severity, mental health and biopsychosocial functioning, with clinical responses to computer-assisted therapy treatment.

Conclusion: CAT may reduce opioid use and improve biopsychosocial functioning in individuals with OUD. CAT could therefore provide a solution to the global opioid crisis if delivered as combination behavioral support alongside MOUD. Findings also indicate that it may be important for treatment systems to identify individuals with psychosocial complexity who might require behavioral support and MOUD.
