Phone App for Addicts

Need a fix??? There is an app for that.  An app created by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers is being tested that allows people with addiction problems to have access to online support groups and counselors. The app is called Addiction-Chess.  It features a panic button that allows the user to place a call for help.  It also uses GPS to alert users when the get near an area of previous drug or alcohol activity.  This could become a very good tool for recovering addicts.
