Abstract:

A method of providing support for, and monitoring of, an individual recovering from addictive behaviors, mental health issues, or other chronic health concerns comprises a multi-tiered support system for the recovering individual and monitoring the recovering individual's commitment to recovery. The basic set of activities that may be integrated into a program include: (1) periodic review sessions with a program monitor; (2) attendance at Twelve-Step meetings; (3) daily online activity reporting; (4) online educational assignments; (5) community service commitments; (6) a recreational activity undertaken by the individual; and, (7) drug and/or biological fluid testing where applicable. The daily online activity reporting feature allows for support to be provided for a person seeking support services. If the person fails to engage in the daily activity reporting, an alert notification can be triggered to allow doctors, treatment providers, friends, and/or family to provide needed support for, and increase the accountability of, the person receiving support services.
