Closing the Recovery Engagement Gap

June 10th at 1 PM EST

Join Hans Morefield, CEO & Bridget Crumley, Senior Director Recovery Services at CHESS Health for this webinar designed for public sector agencies, managed care organizations, and health plans working to reduce the human and financial toll of substance use disorder.

SUD is one of the most expensive and preventable drivers of avoidable crisis care. Whether it is the cost of readmissions following an expensive residential stay, or the costs of unmanaged SUD on populations, the direct and indirect cost of SUD is challenging the economics of health plans and the budgets of state & local governments.

Across populations – from justice-involved individuals to rural communities to high-risk populations – the pattern is the same: when people don’t stay engaged in recovery, the system absorbs the cost through emergency departments, inpatient readmissions, and repeated crisis interventions. Digital recovery engagement tools give states, health plans, and agencies the infrastructure to break that cycle by providing sustained recovery engagement and support that keeps individuals in treatment and adherent to recovery plans.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to reduce costly readmissions and crisis utilization by keeping high-risk members engaged in recovery between treatment visits, closing the gaps that lead to relapse and avoidable hospitalizations.
• How to reach populations traditional care models leave behind including rural communities, justice-involved individuals, pregnant and postpartum women, and diverse populations requiring culturally responsive care, through scalable digital tools that go where clinics can’t.
• How peer-powered digital support and family engagement change outcomes at a population level by addressing the isolation and caregiver burden that drive treatment dropout across your most vulnerable members.
• How to deploy contingency management at scale with an automated platform that meets federal requirements and generates the documentation, audit trails, and outcome reporting your program demands.
• How to build the case for investment by aligning evidence-based digital recovery tools with existing funding streams – including SUBG, SOR, TOR, Opioid Settlement funds, and federal initiatives like the Rural Health Transformation Program – and using outcome data and real-world evidence to gain the internal alignment needed to move forward.
• How digital recovery engagement is delivering real-world results across states, counties, tribes, and health plans – including statewide implementations in Oklahoma, West Virginia, and North Carolina – that have used digital recovery engagement to improve outcomes and reduce costs at scale.
