Summary
Sober Grid worked with leading addiction researchers from Harvard Medical School and Boston Childrens Hospital to successfully demonstrate feasibility on their predictive capabilities.. “I’m really happy with the result of the competition. “The statistics are grim – someone with addiction works hard to break the cycle, but 40-60% percent of people will relapse,” said Beau Mann, CEO of Sober Grid. According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations website, Substance misuse affects millions of people from all walks of life. Research has shown that peer recovery coaching benefits include reduction in ER visits, hospital days and re-hospitalization, as well as recidivism.
