About this trial
This study aims to develop and empirically evaluate the Dinámica Integral Conductual Comunitaria (DICO) model, a multilevel framework that conceptualizes recovery from substance use disorders as a dynamic process emerging from the interaction between individual behavioral variables, social contingencies, and community-level factors within therapeutic communities in Mexico.
A prospective longitudinal design with intensive repeated measures will be implemented over 8 to 12 weeks. Data will be collected using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), psychometric instruments, behavioral records, and semi-structured interviews.
The study seeks to model recovery trajectories as nonlinear dynamic systems, identifying critical transitions, instability patterns, and contextual moderators associated with treatment adherence and relapse risk.
