An Internet Application for SMART Recovery

本研究项目的目标是更新一个Web应用程序，克服 成瘾（OA），并使其能够有效地利用治疗提供者，除了 它目前被公众使用。OA是一种以禁欲为中心的认知行为 基于SMART恢复四点计划的干预措施 （www.smartrecovery.org）中找到。我们已经在一个 随机临床试验，它是由一般公众使用。该项目旨在 通过增加功能，使其对临床医生和治疗计划具有商业可行性 和功能，促进其融入治疗工作流程，并增加 治疗过程中的透明度。长期目标是增加传播 这种经验支持的干预可以帮助那些寻求帮助的人， 实现和维持从物质使用障碍中恢复。 第二阶段的主要项目目标是与一组临床医生合作， 治疗成瘾的客户，以开发他们需要的“后台”功能或功能， 他们希望能够方便他们与客户一起使用它。 拟议项目也有很大的潜力，有利于公众健康。 改善接受治疗的人的结果将使客户及其家人受益， 朋友，间接地，更大的社会。虽然戒毒治疗确实能减少 随后的医疗费用，更有效的干预措施甚至有望 更多的医疗费用节省，特别是如果他们减少复发的可能性， 后续治疗的成本和需求。 这个SBIR项目将为我们的一系列计划增加另一个产品， 酒精和毒品问题。Checkup & Choices LLC的长期目标是开发 并为公众和治疗提供基于证据的干预措施 提供者（药物滥用治疗和初级保健）。我们有 已经开发了饮酒者的检查，一个简短的动机干预沉重 饮酒者，年轻人的大学饮酒者检查，ModerateDrinking.com， 不太依赖问题饮酒者，和右转，一个针对酒后驾车罪犯的网络应用程序。 这个应用程序遵循逻辑顺序：一个程序，以帮助人们弃权一次 他们有动机这么做。

The objective of this research project is to update a web application, Overcoming Addictions (OA) and enable it to be efficiently used by treatment providers in addition to its current use by the general public. OA is an abstinence-focused, cognitive behavioral intervention based on the four point program for SMART Recovery (www.smartrecovery.org). We have already demonstrated the effectiveness of OA in a randomized clinical trial and it is in use by the general public. This project is designed to make it commercially viable to clinicians and treatment programs by adding features and functions that facilitate its integration into the workflow of treatment and increased transparency during treatment. The long-term objective is to increase the dissemination of this empirically supported intervention that can help people who are seeking help in achieving and maintaining recovery from substance use disorders. The major project goals in Phase II are to work with a group of clinicians who treat clients with addictions to develop the “back office” functions or features that they would like to have to facilitate their use of it with their clients. The proposed project also has significant potential to benefit the public health. Improving the outcomes of people in treatment would benefit the clients, their family and friends, and, indirectly, the larger society. While addiction treatment does reduce subsequent healthcare costs, more effective interventions hold the promise of even more savings in healthcare costs, especially if they reduce the probability of relapse and the costs of and need for subsequent treatments. This SBIR project will add another product to our set of programs for people with alcohol and drug problems. A long-term goal of Checkup & Choices LLC is to develop and offer evidence- based interventions both to the general public and to treatment providers (both in substance abuse treatment and in primary healthcare). We have already developed the Drinker’s Check-up, a brief motivational intervention for heavy drinkers, the College Drinker’s Check-up for younger adults, ModerateDrinking.com for less dependent problem drinkers, and Right Turns, a web application for DWI offenders. This application follows logically in sequence: a program to help people abstain once they’re motivated to do so.
