Study Summary
Background: Loneliness-a subjective emotional state characterized by the perception of social isolation-is a psychosocial factor that is associated with increased mortality, substance use, and is associated with precipitants of relapse among individuals with substance use disorders (SUD). Importantly, there are effective interventions that can be used to decrease loneliness; however, these have not been tested on Veterans with SUD who are lonely. Significance/Impact: Individuals with SUD have higher prevalence of loneliness and loneliness exacerbates pain and sleep disturbance, risk factors of relapse. Without effectively intervening on loneliness, Veterans with SUD will continue to be at high risk of relapse and will maintain problems engaging with social support, including healthcare providers-factors critical for recovery. Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) has shown the strongest effects on loneliness, however, there are no interventions that are specifically designed for substance using populations who are lonely. Testing CBT for loneliness and SUD (CBT-L/SUD) has the potential to have a broad impact on addressing a critical, unmet need that commonly affects Veterans with SUD. The investigators approach of national recruitment and telehealth delivery of this intervention highlights how this this study address VHA care priorities including substance use, access to care, and telehealth. Innovation: There are no studies that have tested a loneliness intervention in Veterans with SUD who are lonely, which may neglect a broader impact on mental and physical health. This study is ideally situated to generate new and important knowledge on the association of loneliness and SUD. This study seeks to address a transdiagnostic factor, which may improve engagement with social support thereby reducing substance use. An additional innovative aspect of this study is recruitment being conducted outside the VHA. This may increase access to care among those Veterans who are
