DTOX is a mobile smartphone app marketed as an aid for people with addictions.[2] The company that makes and sells the app was founded in 2012 by Rae Dylan, a substance abuse counsellor.[3]
Users have access to a day counter that calculates their detox period, daily messages of encouragement, a tracking feature that helps monitor cravings and mood, and a photo journal that keeps a visual record of their progress.[4] [5] Users can use DTOX to record specific emotions at any period during the day. Users can remain anonymous or choose to connect with other DTOX users for support and collaboration.[3] There is also a "fan club" option where a user can sign up family members, sponsors, and coaches for emails updating the user's progress.[3]
