How AI Is Helping Methamphetamine Addicts Get Sober and Find Recovery

Artificial intelligence is one field of computer science that continues to grow and transcend what technology engineers thought could be achieved by machine learning. Although AI is still a relatively new field that continues to make advancements regularly, the technology has found a home in several industries, including business and healthcare. Mental health professionals have been using AI for years to help patients with mental illness get the advice and support they need. This is especially relevant today, in the face of rising levels of meth addiction. This rise is directly related to a much more frequently discussed issue in regards to the public health landscape: the opioid epidemic. The latter has led to 11.4 million people misusing prescription opioids and over 130 people dying every day from overdoses.
