Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce heavy drinking and enhance medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) outcomes in individuals receiving MOUD. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the brief, digitally-enhanced, virtual psychotherapeutic intervention, called Managing Physical Reactions to Overwhelming Emotions (IMPROVE), impact daily alcohol use and MOUD adherence? * Does the intervention change self-report and physiological responses to intolerance to uncertainty and anxiety sensitivity? Researchers will compare IMPROVE to a control intervention (health education treatment) to see if IMPROVE impacts daily alcohol use and MOUD adherence. Participants will: * Complete a baseline electroencephalography (EEG) and self-report questionnaires. * Complete three one-hour intervention sessions (IMPROVE or control) each one week a part. * Complete a post-intervention EEG and self-report questionnaires. * Complete five ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys a day for 21 days. * Complete self-report questionnaires one-month after their last intervention session.

Interventions
Participants may be randomized to IMPROVE. IMPROVE is a three session virtual intervention delivered by research clinicians and augmented by a mobile application. The treatment is designed to target and reduce distress contributing to heavy alcohol use during medication for opioid use disorder treatment.
Participants may be randomized to HET. HET is an active control intervention that is equally intensive as IMPROVE It includes three virtual sessions and a mobile application. HET is designed to target healthy lifestyle behaviors such as diet and sleep.
