(Health-NewsWire.Net, November 27, 2015 ) Philadelphia, PA -- Fortune reports the National Institute of Drug Use will be launching a new initiative to collect viable data from substance abusers and those with chronic addiction to participate in research studies via Apple's iPhone. The NIDA invites app builders across the nation to participate in tandem with clinical researchers to devise an app proficient in both gathering actionable information to contribute to research in addition to providing users of the app with help. Drug Rehab Philadelphia asserts rehabilitation centers around the country should mobilize their clients to participate in the study to shed light on treatment techniques that work best for varied addictive substances.
The National Institute of Drug Abuse is offering up $100,000 for the winning app completed by April 2016. Drug Rehab Philadelphia asserts rehabilitation and detox centers are in the prime position to garner some of the most useful information in the spectrum of drug and alcohol addiction due to the sheer number of people suffering from addiction going in and out of treatment everyday. An associate from the facility comments,
"In terms of giving insight as to the best means of treatment, should rehabilitation centers around the country contribute to this study- and perhaps have a hand in developing their own version of the proposed app- we will be able to give empirical data on the most effective treatment methods- and perhaps begin to phase out of the 12-step mentality- which cannot, and does not, compare to the effectiveness and success of harm reduction treatment. In way of preventing overdose deaths, rehab centers should feel personally obligated to add their knowledge to the culmination of this research study.
"Whereas those who participate with the app, may, or may not be, enrolled in treatment, we are uniquely positioned, as treatment centers, to offer insights into the rehabilitation process for those who are successful in treatment, those who relapse, and those who do not complete treatment. We may be able to incorporate the use of the app to be designed for future clients to track the bio-metrics which may give insight as to why some complete treatment, and others do not, outside of what we already know in terms of psychiatric assessment."
Drug Rehab Philadelphia provides individualized addiction recovery treatment in tehri 24 hour medically monitored facility. The Alcohol Rehab in Philadelphia focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy to allay the underlying causes of addiction, as opposed to merely treating the topical signs of addiction. Drug Rehab Philadelphia has a specialized heroin rehab program in Philadelphia aimed to attack the heart of the disease.
