Staff writer Will Yakowicz discusses the $35 billion addiction treatment industry. In light of the current opioid epidemic ravaging the U.S., where overdoses cause more deaths than car accidents, startups are using technology to help recovering addicts stay clean. Sober Grid, a social smartphone app that enables sober people to connect with each other, has gained 25,000 users in a week. #Inc #IncUncensoredPodcast #SoberGrid #startup #addiction

As a member of the board of advisors, the former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld is working with the startup called Sober Grid to address a nationwide issue plaguing at least 23 million Americans - addiction. Weld’s effort in the project will be vital as the company aims to capitalize on its unique model of immediate, virtual support. #WilliamWeld #MassachusettsGovernor #BostonGlobe #SoberGrid #addiction #smartphoneapp

Lacking a strong support network will diminish any effort to finding sobriety. Author of Acrobaddict and Cirque du Soleil performer, Joe Putignano, is a firm believer in the idea and recreating what is called a ‘fellowship’ which allows one to communicate with others and redefine the ways one carries out their life, substance-free. Sober Grid acts as that virtual fellowship. #JoePutignano #HuffingtonPost #SoberGrid #Acrobaddict #socialmedia #addictionandrecovery #communicatio

William Weld and former Miss USA Tara Conner were both present at the global launch of Sober Grid at which the public figures discussed and brought awareness to a new “geo-spatial” app that brings people together dealing with similar addiction issues, whether the person is living in sobriety or on the road to recovery. #MassachusettsGovernor #WilliamWeld #TaraConner #SoberGrid #launchparty #sober #PageSix #soberapp

After Thursday’s official release of Sober Grid - a new app that enables people to find others for recovery support - users have applauded the app’s functionality and ability to remove isolation out of the picture. A niche network built for sober people has begun to empower users through community and outreach. #SoberGrid #launchparty #TaraConner #addiction #BeauMann #JoePutignano #MetroNewYork

One of two Boston-based recovery apps is making headway in terms of popularity. If the public response of its beta version is any indicator of its utility, then Sober Grid has a promising outlook. Co-founder and CEO, Beau Mann, is looking forward to increasing the user base to one million by the end of the year. #SoberGrid #Boston #technology #recovery #addiction #startup #app
