The program uses buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, a medication to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, which allows people to focus on underlying mental health. The buprenorphine is administered through an implant that provides one to six months of continuous delivery. For alcohol use disorder, other medications reduce cravings and maintain sobriety. The counseling program consists of individual, family, and educational sessions done with licensed, Masters level counselors through face-to-face video. There is no travel to a counselor’s office and complete privacy. Sessions can be done at work, home or wherever you are most comfortable—even while traveling. In addition, clients receive a proprietary app, Tether®, with a 365-day digital experience including daily motivational/educational videos, exercises, accountability, assessments, and the ability to get immediate help.
Studies show that medication assisted treatment increases the addiction survival rate by over 50%. Treatment completion rates for video addiction treatment are twice those of traditional outpatient treatment (80% vs. 41%, respectively). The powerful combination of medication and counseling reduces relapse to a fraction of the rate experienced through traditional rehab programs.
“It takes the typical opiod-addicted user eight years – and four to five treatment attempts – to achieve remission for a single year.”
