virtual reality therapy in addiction care

Novadic-Kentron, Brabants' largest center for addiction,  is looking for innovative ways to prevent relapse and improving clients strength and belief that they can deal with situations that triggers addiction outside of the clinic. These situations often deal with contexts that are difficult to simulate in clinics, ranging from addiction behavior stimuli within home environments and public spaces such as bars or street situations. The ideal situation would be to bring those contexts to the clinic.

New Virtual Reality (VR) technologies seem to be able to do that. In co-creation with clients, therapists, researchers, students and developers of Novadic-Kentron and Breda University of Applied Sciences (professorship Digital Media Concepts) this project is all about building a prototype and test it.

Together with a therapist clients will virtually leave the clinic and go home to experience how they will react to certain stimuli (positive and challenging) and discuss how to cope with these whilst still in the save environment of the clinic.
