Choosing the Right Digital Tool

Choosing the right digital tool for SUD prevention, care coordination, or recovery support is one of the most consequential decisions a provider, health plan, or public sector organization can make. The market is crowded, and not all platforms deliver on their promises. The right evaluation goes beyond features to ask harder questions: Is the evidence base peer-reviewed and third-party validated?

The resources on this page help health plans, providers, and public sector organizations cut through the noise and make confident, criteria-driven decisions that align with their clinical, operational, and financial goals.
