The Attention Training on Smartphones (ATS) study was examining cognitive components (e.g., pain, attentional bias, cravings) and how relapse contributes to sustained opioid use disorders (OUD). We utilized attentional bias retraining (ABR) as a brief, cost-effective addition to existing treatments by administering a newly developed smartphone application (app) to reduce attentional bias (AB) toward opioid cues, cravings, and pain among OUD patients in treatment.
