Development and Testing of an Integrated Care Coordination Intervention for Alcohol Use Disorder Recovery After Liver Transplantation
Leigh Anne Dageforde
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is feasible and acceptable to use a recovery coach and an online sober active community to help with alcohol use disorder after liver transplant. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is using a recovery coach after liver transplant to help with alcohol use recovery feasible and acceptable? * Is using an online sober active community after liver transplant to help with alcohol use recovery feasible and acceptable? Researchers will compare standard of care including a recovery coach alone to a recovery coach plus to assist with recovery from alcohol use recovery after liver transplant Participants will: * Work with a recovery coach including a weekly phone call * Visit the clinic once every 3 months for a checkup and to complete surveys * If randomized to the intervention arm, download an online application with access to a digital sober active community
