A new year brings a chance to reset, refocus, and take meaningful steps toward better health. For members seeking support for opioid or alcohol use, that fresh start now comes with a simpler, more convenient path to care.
Our partnership with Pelago, a virtual clinic for substance-use management, allows most commercial members to connect with specialized counselors, physicians and nurse practitioners, as well as access medication-assisted treatment when needed — all from home. The program includes personalized support, digital cognitive behavioral therapy tools, and 24/7 live care.
“This partnership gives members another way to get the help they need without having to step away from their lives,” says Andrew Sherman, HealthPartners senior product manager for product and market innovations, supporting behavioral health. “For many people, leaving work or family for a residential program just isn’t realistic. Pelago lets them get support while staying present for the things that matter.”
Support is always within reach, and a healthier year can start today.
