Web Site Offers Help and Hope to Addicts and Their Families

A Utah web site that was launched just two short months ago has already received over 300,000 hits. One of the most unique aspects of the site is a secured folder feature that allows patients to share personal information with people of their choosing.
"'It's the first opportunity where people's mental-health-care givers can talk with their physical-health-care givers,' [Jack] Tanner said. 'The doctors on both sides can view the information and better coordinate treatment.'"
Every county in Utah has a home page where area-specific doctors and treatment centers can be found. There is also a library of articles about addiction and ways to seek treatment. Read more at SLTrib.com.
