Interventions

• Device
  LDART

  Let's Do Addiction Recovery Together! (LDART) is a web-based intervention grounded in social cognitive theory that is designed to reduce hazardous alcohol use. It has three active ingredients: 1) daily recovery goal setting and tracking, 2) motivational video, audio, and written messages from individuals in recovery, and 3) information on several community-based recovery groups (e.g., mutual-help groups, recovery community centers) that provide free, publicly available meetings and activities. Participants receive a text message reminder each night to go to the website to complete the activities, and a text message reminder each morning of the goal they set for themselves, with the option to change it. It only takes a few minutes to use LDART each day over the 4-week intervention period.
