      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:  Unified transdiagnostic group therapy. This type of therapy identifies and targets factors that are common to multiple mental disorders.

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Comorbid sleep problems are the scores that subjects obtain on the Morin Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) (1993). Emotional disturbance is the score that the subject receives on the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS, Lavibond &amp; Lavibond, cited in Anthony et al., 1998). Craving is the score that participants obtain on the Drug Craving Questionnaire (DDQ) developed by Franken et al. (2002). Relapse prevention is actually the result that the subject obtains on the Morphine Trial (TLC), such that a positive result indicates relapse and re-use, and a negative result indicates relapse prevention. Timepoint: The beginning of the study, the end of the study (about two months), and the two-month follow-up after treatment. Method of measurement: Drug Craving Questionnaire (DDQ). Morphine Test (TLC). Morin Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS). Unified Transdiagnostic Group Therapy (UP). Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBT). Psychiatric Symptom Checklist - Short Form (SCL-25). Structured Clinical Interview (SCID).</prim_outcome>
