​Level Up: How Technology Can Assist in Recovery
​Did you know that people download more than 10 million mobile apps every day? 

People are using apps to assist with everything from managing their finances to monitoring their health. 

The right app can also help with recovery by providing real-time tracking about what affects your moods, how different situations have an impact on you, and providing insight into your red flags and triggers.

Jeff Smith is one of the leading developers, along with his business partner Abhilash Patel, of technology that is designed to help with addiction recovery. 

Erica and Jeff talk about how technology can be a valuable tool in overcoming barriers to seeking treatment.
