A Breakthrough Approach: App-Based Therapy Shows Strong Results in Texas


A recent study by UT Health San Antonio has revealed compelling outcomes in opioid use treatment. Among 600 participants with opioid use disorder between November 2020 and November 2023, those using the WEconnect Health app, alongside medication-assisted therapy, reduced their opioid use by 35% and stayed in treatment 19% longer compared to those on medication alone.
Dr. Elise Marino, Ph.D., Director of Research Operations at the Be Well Institute, aptly stated:
“Expanding the availability of app‑based contingency management may contribute to decreasing the immense societal, economic and personal burden of opioid use.”
These findings highlight the powerful potential of tech‑enhanced, personalized interventions especially in regions like Texas, where synthetic opioids like fentanyl continue driving overdose deaths.
