Proposed typology to describe and classify social-online D-RSS.

a) Type of service	The recovery support service or activity with which someone engages (e.g., online recovery support meeting). Can be synchronous – real-time interaction – or asynchronous – interaction without time constraints
b) Type of platform	How the recovery support service is delivered (e.g., remote video conferencing, discussion boards, recovery-specific social network sites, etc.)
c) Points of access	Communication technology through which individuals access the online D-RSS platform (e.g., website, smartphone application, telephone, etc.)
d) Organization/individuals responsible	Organization and/or individuals that developed, maintains, monitors, and oversees the D-RSS (e.g., mutual-help organization, private company, peer volunteer monitors, etc.)

Note: D-RSS = digital recovery support service.
