This study investigates long-term recovery from Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). OUD is a chronic condition where individuals have a compulsive need to use opioids. The study aims to understand how Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) affects long-term recovery. MAT is a treatment that combines medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders.

Participants in the study will be asked to provide information about their recovery journey. This will help researchers gather data to create a guide for best practices in long-term OUD recovery. The study will also involve collecting normative data to help set realistic recovery expectations and reduce stigma.

• Who can participate: Adults who are either in short-term recovery from OUD, in long-term recovery, care providers for those with OUD, family or friends of those with OUD, or community members not connected to someone with OUD can participate. Participants must be able to understand and complete the study protocol in English.
• Study details: Participants will be asked to share their experiences and insights related to OUD recovery. This information will contribute to a better understanding of long-term recovery processes and the role of MAT.
