About this trial

The goal of this pilot trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an adapted MDFT intervention with women who report prior OUD and sex trade involvement participating in specialty court treatment programs. The main question\[s\] the trial aims to answer are:

1. Will the inclusion of the adapted MDFT intervention be feasible among the target population? 2. Will participant dyads assigned to the adapted intervention perceive the intervention as acceptable and beneficial?

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either: 1) the adapted MDFT + TAU; or 2) TAU. Participants will complete baseline and post-intervention assessments.
