Abstract :
In recent years, technology-based interventions have
been used for treating methamphetamine dependence
in western countries (1). These treatments are believed
to be more cost-effective and time-saving than therapistassisted
therapies (2). Technology-based interventions include
computer-based interventions, internet-based interventions,
text messaging, and smart phone or mobilebased
treatments (1-3).
