Adi Jaffe, PhD, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Alternatives Behavioral Health, talks about considerations treatment centers should take before using the Soberlink device for their patients. According to Jaffe, the Soberlink should be used as a source of accountability, similar to a blood glucose monitoring device for patients with diabetes. Jaffe also iterates that the Soberlink is not a method of treatment, but rather a clinical tool which can be instrumental in assessing a client, and helping to provide them with the best treatment possible. Finally, before starting your patients on the Soberlink device, it is important that they understand the specifics of the device and what is required and expected of them.
