What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effects of person-centered occupational therapy interventions on adults aged 18 to 65 diagnosed with substance use disorder. Substance use disorder often causes isolation and challenges in daily tasks such as work, self-care, and leisure. The study will compare a tailored 8-week therapy program against a control group receiving a single awareness session, to assess impacts on occupational performance, self-confidence, and psychological resilience. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The study group will undergo person-centered occupational therapy three times a week for eight weeks, focusing on daily living skills and personal goals identified through the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The control group will receive a one-time educational session about substance use disorder alongside their usual clinical care. Participants will be assessed at the start and after eight weeks using tools including the COPM, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale to measure changes in their abilities and psychological health. The study involves monitoring progress through these assessments to understand how the therapy affects performance and resilience over the intervention period.
