Abstract

VRT is effective in treating various SUDs. However, few studies were found that specifically looked at its use with opioid use disorder. Therefore, more research is needed to ascertain its efficacy in this population. We will test the feasibility and acceptability of utilizing VR-based behavioral interventions for OUDs.

Therefore, more research is needed to ascertain its efficacy in this population. We will test the feasibility and acceptability of utilizing VR-based behavioral interventions for OUDs.
