Sober Grid represents itself as a social network designed specifically for those who are in recovery.

With this app, users can connect with other people in their area who are in recovery and also using the app. There is also an SOS button that will alert people if you feel that your sobriety is at stake and you need immediate support.3

This setup allows you to be honest about your recovery and focus on personal growth. The app also offers mini activities to help you focus your attention elsewhere when you feel that you may relapse.4

Substance Abuse Help at BHOPB
While some of these addiction recovery apps may have been made by addiction experts or specialists, sometimes an app isn’t enough. Especially for people who have mental health issues alongside their substance abuse problems, an app may only be able to take you so far.
For many people, in-person help and support are still a necessary component of long-term sobriety. Do not rely solely on these apps for your recovery, but instead use them as another tool to aid in the recovery process. If you are looking for more support, our dual diagnosis rehab in Florida may be a good option.
If you are struggling with your behavioral health, you may need professional treatment to see real progress. Our BHOPB detox center works with people who are struggling with various substance abuse and mental health problems.
