What to Expect From Online Addiction Treatment

Our Care Model

Starting Strong: Month 1

Your journey begins with a comprehensive intake during your first visit. You’ll meet with a medical provider to assess your symptoms and begin care planning to help define your treatment goals.

Over the course of the month, you will meet with the following team members based on your needs:

  • Medical Team Provider
  • Nurse
  • Therapist
  • Community Recovery Partner
  • Care Manager

Our research shows that members benefit most from more frequent visits in the first month of care. We recommend care team visits three times a week for best support.

Best Support: 3 visits/week

Strengthening Support: Month 2 -3

We adjust how often we see you and the support we provide to fit your schedule and your progress on your recovery journey.

Best Support: 1-2 visits/week

Recovery for Life: Month 4+

We track progress towards your goals together during visits, and you can also monitor it through your Member Portal. We recognize that your needs may change along your journey, and we will adjust your treatment to meet you where you are.

Best Support: 1-2 visits/month
