What RADIUS Delivers
RADIUS, a certified medical device (online intervention), is employed in a blended treatment approach. This method combines face-to-face psychotherapy based on the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) with the RADIUS web app to treat patients with alcohol dependence in an outpatient setting. It is designed to be implemented immediately following a qualified withdrawal treatment. Building on a behavioral therapy manual, the approach aims to motivate patients toward abstinence-oriented behavior. Enhanced confrontation with one’s own dysfunctional or symptomatic behaviors could facilitate behavioral change within psychotherapy, potentially reducing the required number of therapy sessions.
Currently, RADIUS is funded by the Innovation Fund, a key instrument supporting advancements in the German healthcare system.
RADIUS is a CE-certified Class I medical device.
