Sober.com Unveils New Technology That Reduces Relapse Occurrence For Those In Recovery From Substance Abuse

Delray Beach, PR News Wire

Sober.com has released a new product called Sobersystems(TM) -- an Internet-based recovery management program designed to dramatically reduce relapse occurrence. Sober.com – a privately held company founded by Harold Jonas, PhD, LMHC, CAP -- is a leading resource for individuals seeking products or treatment services related to alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs, supportive housing, mental health and addictions counseling.

Sobersystems(TM) closes the gap that currently exists in aftercare between the discharged client and the treatment facility. Sobersystems(TM) uses a unique database system where upon discharge, the recovering individual receives an identification number on a plastic card that has been programmed with their personal information. This electronic system allows individuals to stay closely connected with their primary facility, and thus greatly reduce the possibility of relapse occurrence.

For example, a private and secure "recovery journal" is available; a personal goals calendar, and e-mail address is provided; as well as a self- assessment instrument that indicate the probability of relapse. The instrument is called The AWARE Questionnaire; once completed online, it is immediately scored and the results are automatically e-mailed to the discharging facility.

If the danger of relapse is detected, the person in recovery is quickly notified by e-mail to seek help and their treatment facility is immediately notified.

"We are finally able to offer the population in recovery our Sobersystems service that will substantially reduce relapse occurrence one individual at a time. It's a classic win-win situation for those in recovery and discharging facilities," said Dr. Harold Jonas, Chief Executive Officer of Sober.com.

Sobersystems allows the recovering individual to access an Internet-based support system of tools 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-per-week. The system will be available to both the newly discharged and previously discharged patients of treatment facilities starting this month.
