In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective observational study follows adults undergoing residential rehabilitation for severe substance use disorders at a specialized treatment center in Mexico. Participants provide weekly written narratives describing their emotions, challenges, coping strategies, and treatment experiences, and complete validated psychological questionnaires every two weeks, including the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Environmental Reward Observation Scale (EROS), Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire-8 (ATQ-8), and Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS). The study applies natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning methods to analyze participants' narratives and identify emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns associated with clinical change over time. Narrative-derived features are combined with questionnaire scores to generate a dynamic clinical risk represe
