Recovery Works - Facilitating Sustainable Recovery Through Workforce
West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an apprenticeship-based workforce model, the Community Restitution Apprenticeship-Focused Training (CRAFT), improves recovery outcomes for persons with substance use disorder. The main research questions are: * Does the CRAFT workforce model improve recovery and social capital for justice-involved adults with substance use disorder? * Does the CRAFT workforce model reduce Day Report Program violations for justice-involved adults with substance use disorder? Secondary research questions include: * Are there differences in program effects between men and women? * Are there differences in program effects across age groups? Researchers will compare the CRAFT apprenticeship-based workforce model to the standard employment model for Day Report Program participants to determine whether the apprenticeship-based model improves outcomes. Participants assigned to the CRAFT apprenticeship-based workforce model will: * Complete community service focused on job-specific training * Meet with study staff monthly to complete questionnaires * Work with study staff to engage in workplace mentoring * Maintain consistent follow-up with their Day Report Program case managers
