Common questions

Is City Health enrolling people in a substance use or recovery study right now?
No active recruiting substance use or recovery study is listed on this page yet. Study-specific information will be added when recruitment opens.
Is research the same as treatment or recovery care?
No. Research is designed to answer a study question. It may involve care-related visits or support, but it does not replace regular treatment or recovery support.
Will participation affect my current care?
Each study is different. If a study may affect regular care, medications, visits, or privacy, those details must be explained before informed consent.
Can a provider or community partner contact City Health?
Yes. Providers and community partners can use the research interest form or sponsor inquiry pathway to start a general conversation.
