Three researchers from UAMS have been working to save a generation from drug addiction, and they've been doing it all with the help of a cell phone.

Andrew James, Ph.D., Ronald G. Thompson, Ph.D., and Mary Bollinger, Ph.D. have created the app, OptiMAT (Optimizing Medication Assisted Treatment).

It is a self-monitoring system where you log your moods and emotions, the level of opioid cravings, and if you've used the drug in the past 24 hours.
