4. Lack of Client Focused Technology Many of these systems have been successful in automating the administrative side of service provision and in generating data and information for National Drug and Treatment Monitoring However, clients themselves have yet to see measurable, significant benefits from the use of new technologies as part of their individual recovery processes

5. Recovery Spaces RecoverySpaces is a multi-media system that puts the client at the centre of their recovery from addiction RecoverySpaces helps clients progress through their journey to recovery whether that journey begins in a prison, a treatment centre, rehab community based agency or at home

6. RecoverySpaces - Client Centred RecoverySpaces enables the client to use the medium that they are most comfortable with, whether, video, audio, text or graphics to document and evidence their recovery journey In a private, secure online space, clients are given the opportunity to learn safely within the service and, if appropriate, at home

7. Four Tier System The RecoverySpaces system, can hold multiple service Centres each of which will have: Administration Managers – Can create and manage senior recover practitioners Senior Recovery Practitioners – Can create and manage recovery practitioners and clients Practitioner – Can create and manage clients Clients – Work in a RecoverySpace

9. Clients Uses RecoverySpaces has six easy to use functions: – Diary/Journal to document their journey – Workbook for assignments set by practitioners – Library of digital learning resources – Messaging for communicating with recovery practitioners – Worksheets for teaching and learning – Calendar for recovery related appointments – Progress reports to evidence recovery

21. Administration Administrators can create and administer clients and practitioners Practitioners can administer their clients’ RecoverySpaces Clients can see and access only their Recovery Space and can send messages only to their practitioners

24. Benefits to Client The system allows clients to take ownership of their recovery, creates closer more effective relationships with recovery practitioners and allows instant access to relevant and supportive information It’s motivational, prevents relapse and can be used as an effective aftercare tool

25. Security Features RecoverySpaces is securely encrypted and can be run through its own server or installed at the service or treatment centre A client is given a password which allows access to their own RecoverySpace. Their RecoverySpace can be switched between centers and accessed from home if required

26. Aftercare Support The client is unable to search the web via the system and uses it exclusively for self-reflection, record keeping, working and communicating with recovery practitioners When initial treatment has finished it is able to offer aftercare support - the client continues to have a username and password and receives email alerts both during (if in the community) and after treatment

27. Benefits to Service Centre RecoverySpaces facilitates the effective management of a personalised journey It helps to create intervention strategies appropriate to the diversity of an individual client’s needs and offers counsellors the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the clients they are working with Continuity of care can be more accurately planned and the achievement of objectives can be visually measured in conjunction with required data and key performance indicators
