Abstract
COVID-19 related restrictions on in-person contact shifted addiction treatment and recovery resources to online and mobile platforms. This year-long study (N=405) evaluated mobile apps for their therapeutic focus, features, cost, and device availability. Frequency of use and helpfulness were assessed to understand how participants were engaging with the apps.
