Interventions

• KulaMind-Recovery — BEHAVIORAL
  KulaMind-Recovery (KM-R) is an AI-powered web-based support platform that provides psychoeducation and training in evidenced-based cognitive behavioral skills and family interventions for substance use disorder. Loved ones will be matched with a human coach who will create a custom program of skills, psychoeducation materials, and other interventions. The coach will deliver these assignments through the AI digital tools on the KM-R platform, so loved ones can learn or practice skills at their convenience. For emotional support, accountability, and trouble shooting, coaches provide group video sessions each week. Each loved one will have access to text-based support form their coach, which allows the coach to support skill-building and troubleshooting in real time. Loved ones will also have access to a community forum, hosted on the platform, where they can connect with other loved ones with shared experiences. The community forum is monitored by a trained, live moderator.

Study Details

Substance use disorders are highly prevalent. However, recovery from them is possible. The recovery process can benefit greatly from support from loved ones. Loved ones may need guidance in the most helpful ways to support recovery. This study aims to refine and test a web-based intervention, known as KulaMind-Recovery, which offers online skill building and educational modules, one-on-one video sessions and "on-demand" text-based support from a coach, and access to a community forum to connect with others with shared experience.
