What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the patterns of polysubstance abuse involving opioids and benzodiazepines among patients currently undergoing treatment for Substance Use Disorder in Wayne County. Up to 120 participants will undergo a comprehensive 6-hour assessment that includes clinical evaluations and hypothesis-driven measures related to mental health and substance use. The study will utilize various assessment tools, including interviews and questionnaires, to gather data on affective dysregulation, neurocognition, and substance use behaviors. The findings may help identify phenotypes that could be targeted to reduce the risks associated with polysubstance abuse.
