Our goals are to measure their engagement with recovery treatment. The research team plan to enroll 1,649 participants into one of the following 4 arms. Patients enrolled into the Way to Health CareConnect text line as part of usual care and meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled in this randomized control trial and randomized to: Augmented usual care (standard Way to HealthCareConnect text line) Patients can call or text the on-call substance use navigators (SUN) from 9a-9p, 7 days a week. Augmented usual care + text-message check-ins (standard Way to Health CareConnect Text line) Patients can call or text the on-call substance use navigators (SUN) from 9a-9p, 7 days a week AND (text-message check-ins) patients will receive automated text-message check-ins up to once per day for 30 days to see if the patient needs help with anything. Augmented usual care + contingency management (standard Way to Health CareConnect Text line) and, participants will be compensated for going to their follow-up appointments. Augmented usual care + CM + Text-message check-ins (standard Way to Health CareConnect text line) AND text-message check-ins-patients will receive automated text-message check-ins up to once per day for 30 days to see if the patient needs help with anything AND, participants will receive compensation for attending their follow-up appointments.
