Finally! An App That Provides Instant Mobile Support for Those in Addiction Recovery

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- PrayerSpark.com, the world’s only website that allows anyone, anywhere, of any religious affiliation, to send interfaith spiritual support and connection to others across the globe, is developing the first business-to-business branded addiction and recovery app for iOS and Android.  This groundbreaking new app aims to reduce the addiction relapse rate by providing around-the-clock, on-demand tracking, encouragement and support. The app creates a mobile support environment for those in recovery, including a “life saved” counter, virtual sobriety tokens for achieving milestones, a private social network to safely seek support from trusted members, and, for the first time ever, direct access to renowned spiritual leaders of the world’s many religious and spiritual faiths. With eight steps of the 12-step program requiring participants to "surrender to a higher power," PrayerSpark provides spiritual support to those of all faiths, including alternatives for those people who don't have a religious affiliation.

PrayerSpark.com founder Michael Feder says, “The most dangerous part of the rehabilitation process, from a relapse risk standpoint, is when folks are removed from their support system. It only takes a second to relapse. PrayerSpark's white label addiction and recovery app provides ongoing support that is imperative for continued success. With 22.3 million people in rehab, and a relapse rate of 92 percent, our app will provide a powerful, lifeline connection to those seeking to conquer their addiction.”

The first addiction recovery clinical tool of its kind, the PrayerSpark addiction and recovery app was developed by a globally renowned team of visionaries, medical doctors and rehabilitation specialists. PrayerSpark.com founders include pioneering telemedicine physician Dr. Daniel Saurborn, M.D. For over a decade, Saurborn has been a pioneer of modern medicine, leveraging the power of the Internet to bring better healthcare to disadvantaged patients in remote areas and all corners of the world. Saurborn received his Bachelors degree at Duke University and performed his advanced medical training at Harvard Medical School. Advisory board member Dr. Michael Kuhar, PhD, is a renowned brain scientist and Candler Professor of Neuropharmacology at Emory University. Kuhar specializes in how the brain works and neuropsychiatric disease. Kuhar was previously professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Branch Chief at the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

“We saw a real problem with the high percentage of relapse failures, and decided to develop a viable solution with the PrayerSpark addiction and recovery application. We are passionate about discovering new ways to empower all of us to take charge of our well being,” says PrayerSpark.com co-founder Dr. Saurborn, M.D.

In early 2015, PrayerSpark.com launched its website to connect people seeking spiritual affirmation for themselves and for others with global leaders of all faiths. Designed for those who are spiritual, religious, unaffiliated or “none of the above,” PrayerSpark.com enables people to send personalized prayers and positive affirmations to anyone, anywhere, of any faith from their designated authentic spiritual leaders throughout the globe.

The new PrayerSpark addiction and recovery app (http://igg.me/at/PrayerSpark) is the natural evolution of this concept. Increasing the odds of life-changing success for substance users and those in recovery is at the core of PrayerSpark’s mission. Rehabilitation facilities and organizations dedicated to helping people recover from drug, prescription pill, and alcohol addictions can utilize PrayerSpark’s branded, customized app to offer mobile support for their clients, and help ensure recovery success for people all over the world.

PrayerSpark will launch a crowdfunding campaign in November, 2015 to help launch the addiction and recovery app and take it global. For more information, please contact PrayerSpark Chief Marketing Officer, Christina Aldan at 702.900.3419 or Christina@PrayerSpark.com.
