Technology offers one more avenue by which the behavioral health field can provide recovery support services. This training will focus on how recovery support services can be extended through the use of technologies (e.g., the web, smart phone, and cell phone).
Designed for professionals experienced in providing recovery support services, this training will introduce research-based recovery support technologies, showcase several technology-assisted interventions that can be used to help deliver recovery support services, and show how technology compliments behavioral health treatment services.
