    Alcohol dependence is a lifetime psychiatric diagnosis.1,2 Like other chronic illnesses (eg, type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension), alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have physiological and behavioral components, as well as relapse rates similar to those of other chronic illnesses.3 It has been estimated that around 1 in 4 patients with AUDs remain continuously abstinent in the first year after treatment.4


  • Potential Roles for New Communication Technologies in Treatment of Addiction

    by Kimberly Johnson, Andrew Isham, Dhavan V. Shah, David H. Gustafson

    Information and communication technologies offer clinicians the opportunity to work with patients to manage chronic conditions, including addiction. The early research on the efficacy of electronic treatment and support tools is promising. Sensors have recently received increased attention as key components of electronic treatment and recovery management systems. Although results of the research are very promising, concerns at the clinical and policy level must be addressed before widespread adoption of these technologies can become practical. First, clinicians must adapt their practices to incorporate a continuing flow of patient information. Second, payment and regulatory systems must make adjustments far beyond what telemedicine and electronic medical records have required. This paper examines potential roles of information and communication technologies as well as process and regulatory challenges.
