美国刑事司法系统比任何其他系统都有更多的人接受药物滥用治疗。吸毒成瘾的罪犯完成治疗率低，复吸率高，这突出表明需要更好的药物使用障碍治疗和康复工具。移动的健康应用程序（app）可以通过提供持续支持来满足这一需求。在这项试点测试中，马萨诸塞州毒品法庭项目的30名参与者在四个月的时间里使用了A-CHESS，这是一款用于康复支持和预防复发的移动的应用程序。在研究期间，参与者平均有62%的时间使用A-CHESS，社交网络工具是使用最多的服务。研究结果表明，毒品法庭参与者将定期使用恢复支持应用程序。这项试点研究旨在了解毒品法庭计划中的成瘾罪犯是否会使用移动的应用程序来支持和管理他们的恢复。
The U.S. criminal justice system refers more people to substance abuse treatment than any other system. Low treatment completion rates and high relapse rates among addicted offenders highlight the need for better substance use disorder treatment and recovery tools. Mobile health applications (apps) may fill that need by providing continuous support. In this pilot test, 30 participants in a Massachusetts drug court program used A-CHESS, a mobile app for recovery support and relapse prevention, over a four-month period. Over the course of the study period, participants opened A-CHESS on average of 62% of the days that they had the app. Social networking tools were the most utilized services. The study results suggest that drug court participants will make regular use of a recovery support app. This pilot study sought to find out if addicted offenders in a drug court program would use a mobile application to support and manage their recovery.
