System And Method For Recovering Form Addictions
US Patent:
2011025, Oct 13, 2011
Filed:
Jun 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/134944
Inventors:
Reid Kevin Hester - Albuquerque NM, US
International Classification:
G09B 19/00
US Classification:
434236
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for helping people abstain from addictive behaviors by utilizing an Internet-based software program to build a users' motivation to abstain, develop coping strategies for dealing with urges and cravings, learn how to analyze their behavior in terms of established goals and solve problems that impede their progress, to set goals and develop healthy, pro-social activities, and to develop a specific plan to change their behaviors. An automated but personalized email system encourages their persistence in continuing with their recovery plan, reminds them of their identified triggers, strategies they've chosen to deal with them, and reminders to engage in the pro-social activities they've chosen. A smartphone application, in addition to the features of the email method, includes a personalized text messaging feature for reaching out to others for social support.

US Patent:
2011022, Sep 22, 2011
Filed:
Mar 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/661337
Inventors:
Reid Kevin Hester - Albuquerque NM, US
International Classification:
G09B 19/00, G09B 7/00
US Classification:
434236, 434362
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for motivating heavy drinking college students to reduce their drinking and alcohol-related problems by utilizing a computer-based software program to screen for heavy drinking and for those who screen positive, provide a comprehensive assessment of drinking and alcohol-related problems, provide personalized feedback to the user with relevant norms, assist users in resolving their ambivalence about changing, and help them develop a plan of action to achieve the goals of drinking less and having fewer alcohol-related problems. The method includes a way for University administrators to implement the system on a campus-wide basis, customize the system to their specific campus and its needs, manage the dataset, and generate outcome reports that measure pertinent clinical outcomes of the program.
