Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing a smartphone app designed to help people in alcohol addiction treatment who also have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Many people with both conditions struggle in treatment because neither is fully addressed at the same time. The app provides cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tools to manage PTSD symptoms and support sobriety. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are currently enrolled in an addiction treatment program - You have been diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD) - Your PTSD symptom score on a standard checklist is 33 or higher - You own a smartphone or Wi-Fi-enabled device that can run apps **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have used injectable drugs in the past year - You cannot speak or understand English - You are already receiving specific trauma-focused therapy for PTSD (such as Prolonged Exposure, CPT, or EMDR) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
