Continuing care is believed to be important in the effective management of patients with alcohol use disorders. New smartphone technology provides a novel way to provide personalized continuing care support. Dr. Gustafson and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin have developed an addiction version of CHESS (ACHESS), an automated smart phone system that provides a range of functions designed to directly support patients. In a recently completed NIAAA-funded continuing care study, ACHESS produced better drinking outcomes with alcoholics than treatment as usual.
