Virtual Healing: Boulder Care's Approach to Opioid Treatment
So seeing this, a new company coming out, utilizing the technology we already have and then implementing it, especially for rural areas where there's- we'll get into that later- but where there's really no very limited providers, to no providers out there.
Imagine needing crucial medical care but living miles away from the nearest specialist. That's the reality for many struggling with opioid use disorder in rural America. In this episode of 'Henry's Uncle', host Erik Kilgore chats with Stephanie Papes, the visionary CEO of Boulder Care. Boulder Care is a digital clinic revolutionizing how patients receive long-term support and treatment for opioid addiction. With 40% of U.S.
counties lacking doctors who can prescribe essential medications like buprenorphine, access to care can be a monumental challenge. Stephanie shares how her team is using telehealth to bridge this gap, allowing patients to connect with doctors from the comfort of their own homes. This episode dives into the benefits and hurdles of telemedicine, especially in the context of addiction recovery. Stephanie's mission is clear: help patients succeed on their own terms, no matter where they live.
