Cash for clean breath: new study tests remote monitoring to prevent relapse

This study tests whether giving small monetary rewards for sober breathalyzer readings, collected remotely via a smartphone app, helps people with alcohol use disorder stay abstinent after completing detox. About 91 participants will use the app and breathalyzer at home, and researchers will compare their relapse rates and treatment satisfaction to those receiving standard care alone. The goal is to see if this approach reduces relapse and hospital readmissions.
