Brief Summary:
The proposed study will determine if cognitive behavioral therapy will help improve loneliness in people who use opioids.
Detailed Description:
The proposed study will be the first to assess the cognitive, affective, and behavioral pathways by which loneliness impacts opioid use. Individuals with an opioid use disorder (OUD) reporting loneliness will be randomized to either a 6-session Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy for loneliness (CBT-L) or a 6-session education control condition, both delivered via telehealth. Telehealth delivery can be easily implemented and can increase reach and access to individuals not engaged in treatment. We will use an established brief CBT manual to address loneliness. We will assess loneliness, negative affect (i.e., depression and anxiety), and the quality and quantity of social interactions prior to, during, and after the intervention to evaluate the subsequent impact on opioid use trajectories. Participant will complete questionnaires pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 1- and 2-months posttreatment.
