SUD Recovery Support Resources

North Carolina’s mental health and substance use disorder-focused organizations can offer clients access to two tools designed to extend their impact between sessions: Connections for recovery support and Companion for family support — improving treatment retention, strengthening clinical outcomes, and supporting the long-term sustainability of your organization. 

  • Connections is an evidence-based, peer-powered recovery support app available in English and Spanish that keeps your clients engaged and supported in their recovery between treatment visits. Users have access to coping tools, digital CBT modules, virtual group meetings, discussion forums, and peer encouragement to mark and celebrate progress. CHESS Health employs a team of peer recovery support specialists to moderate the discussion forums, host support meetings, and, when necessary, provide 24/7 crisis support to keep individuals safe and in recovery.  
  • The Companion app gives the family members, friends, and caregivers of your clients their own dedicated support space. Through discussion forums, expert guidance, and practical resources, Companion helps support networks stay strong and engaged — a proven factor in improving client retention and recovery outcomes. 

Together, Connections and Companion create a reinforcing cycle of support that keeps clients connected to care, reduces dropout, and drives measurable clinical and business results. 

This solution is available at no cost to the following types of organizations: 

Behavioral health providers, Local Managing Entities (LMEs), reentry programs, peer warm lines, crisis lines and helplines, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), MAT programs, Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers (CCBHCs), recovery coaching and peer support organizations, collegiate recovery programs, sober living and recovery residences, and harm reduction programs. Complete the form above to check eligibility and learn more.  

Problem Gambling Recovery Support Resources

Through NCDHHS’s More Than a Game initiative, behavioral health organizations focused on problem gambling can offer their clients access to Connections, including a dedicated module with problem gambling-specific resources and a peer-powered support community. And because gambling and substance use issues frequently co-occur, individuals dealing with both can leverage support resources for each within the same app.
