Today, we’re proud to share the first findings from our year-long study using Recovery Connect, the revolutionary app designed to connect patients to their counselors on the go. The results confirm what we’ve always known: when innovation meets compassion, lives change.

Patients who linked with their counselor through the app early in treatment yielded substantial improvements.
