This survey will be completely anonymous. The results will be used to supply a machine learning (ML) program with information about how different people with different backgrounds and different addictions have managed to heal and recover. We hypothesise that the most valuable algorithm for our purpose is an ML algorithm to reveal patterns between people's histories and the choices made in recovery. We aim to remove any potential human bias and then best guide any person whatever their sex, gender, creed or religion towards a better strategy and so increase the opportunity for success.
Our objective is to help improve recovery where possible by finding patterns of how personality, upbringing, life experience, culture and heritage may influence which detox and recovery solutions would give the best chance of getting well again.
If conclusive, the anonymous results can be made available to anyone who would like to learn more about how similar individuals managed to stop using addictive substances and behaviours to break free.
