We really focus on getting people a proper diagnosis and a personalized care plan. We also have therapists in the platform and recovery coaches, as well as support groups, and those are tailored both towards the individual who's struggling with substance use as well as their family members, because we know that addiction can really impact the whole family, and supporting that family unit is critically important to a path to recovery.
Ever wondered how technology can change the landscape of addiction treatment? Meet Sam Arsenault Wilson, the Chief Quality Officer and Co-founder of Confidant Health. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Sam shares her journey and vision for making addiction treatment more accessible through innovative, app-based solutions. Confidant Health isn't just another health app; it's a comprehensive hub offering resources and clinical support for those grappling with mental health and substance use issues.
Sam's background in recovery policy and advocacy is impressive. She even created the first treatment rating system, ATLAS (Addiction Treatment Locator, Assessment, and Standards Platform). Her work aims to transform substance use treatment in the U.S. by offering personalized care plans and tailored support groups for individuals and their families. In this conversation, Sam breaks down the benefits of personalized care plans, explaining how they can make a significant difference for those struggling with substance use.
She also highlights the crucial role family support plays in recovery and demystifies the difference between therapists and coaches. Additionally, she delves into value-based payment systems in addiction treatment, discussing how aligning financial incentives with effective care can lead to better outcomes. If you're interested in how technology and science-backed methods can revolutionize addiction treatment, this episode is a must-listen. Sam's insights offer a fresh perspective on how we can improve accessibility and effectiveness in treating substance use disorders.
