This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an app-based version of a therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is designed to help people process traumatic memories. The study is for people who have both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a substance use disorder. Researchers want to see if using this treatment app can safely reduce symptoms over four weeks.
Many people struggle with both trauma and substance use at the same time, and traditional EMDR therapy may not be accessible to everyone due to cost or availability. This trial is exploring whether a self-guided app version of this proven therapy could make treatment more available and help people recover.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either start the app-based therapy right away or wait four weeks before beginning. You'll use the treatment app over a four-week period, and the research team will check in with you at week four and again at week eight to see how you're doing. The study lasts eight weeks total, though if you're in the waiting group, your active treatment period is shorter.
