  • First Online:
Technology-Assisted Interventions for Substance Use Disorders

Abstract

New technologies such as mobile phone applications, web-based platforms, and neuromodulation are reshaping the landscape of substance use disorder treatment. These technologies are proving to be vital in expanding access to care. Furthermore, these new interventions provide treatment alternatives when the standards of care do not meet patient needs. Many of these new treatment modalities have limitations, including the need to train providers in their proper use. More research is needed, but initial results are promising. Indications are that mobile phone applications, web-based platforms, and neuromodulation may become mainstays of effective substance use treatment in the near future.
