Abstract

A method of treatment for persons with addictions. A first step of the method involves providing every person entering a treatment facility for treatment of an addiction with a tablet computer. A second step of the method involves using the tablet computer as a teaching aid containing course materials during classes and counselling sessions at the treatment facility. A third step involves using the tablet computer for storing support aids, monitoring by counsellors, communicating with counsellors, and communicating with a peer support network when the person is not in classes and counselling sessions at the treatment facility. A fourth step involves continuing to use the tablet computer for storing support aids, monitoring by counsellors, and communicating with the peer support network after the person leaves the treatment facility to resume his or her life outside of the treatment facility.
