Our number one goal is to help save lives

WingMan For Recovery

by Addiction Resource Systems, Inc.

What is it about?

Our number one goal is to help save lives. WingMan For Addiction is intended primarily for individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, with a secondary audience of family members, friends, and supportive professionals contributing to the care of recovering addicts. WingMan For Addiction is focused on what research shows to be the 5- to 20-minute period during which an addict experiences a typical craving. During these periods, WingMan For Addiction offers a range of encouragement, productive distraction, and quick access to resources to allow individuals to push through the craving and maintain sobriety. The app uses a conversational chat/SMS-like UI to interact with a machine learning-enabled chatbot and create a personalized approach to each user (what specific tasks or content work best for each person to weather cravings, for example). This type of interface ideally provides a scalable facsimile of a sponsor or caring counsellor who is immediately available 24/7 -- whenever a craving hits. WingMan For Addiction is not intended to supplant existing relationships or treatments, but rather to provide additional and immediate assistance to individuals in recovery.
