Benefits of Long-term Monitoring

Research has proven that long-term monitoring protects your recovery. For example, we know that the most significant reason professionals, such as doctors, pilots, and others, have had such high success rates in recovery is monitoring. Over the past 30 years programs that monitor professionals have reported success rates as high as 90%! (Over 5 years or more!). These are much higher success rates than for the general public.

Why should doctors and pilots receive better substance abuse treatment care than others? If there was a better treatment for cancer that only doctors received there would be public outcry. Additionally, we know that drug courts, who do regular monitoring, have a much higher success rate than for the general population (while they are in monitoring).

Why shouldn't the average citizen receive as good of care as someone treated by the drug court? This company provides a simple and inexpensive mechanism for long-term monitoring and participating in monitoring results in a much higher success rates. It is simply a fact that long-term monitoring and continued supportive care improves outcomes in recovery. This should not be a surprise considering the fact that addiction is a chronic illness. What is surprising is how seldom long-term monitoring is conducted. In the United States, fewer than 9% of patients discharged from substance abuse treatment receive more than 1 urine drug screen during their entire treatment or follow-up. No wonder outcomes are very low. It would be considered malpractice for a physician to treat a diabetic then to discharge them without any plan for long-term monitoring. It should also be considered malpractice to treat a person having problems with alcohol or drugs and not setup a plan for long-term monitoring.

Our goal is to provide a convenient and inexpensive way to setup a long-term monitoring plan or contingency contract, and to carry it out, with proper reporting and support. We believe this will result in significant improvements in outcomes. How it Works »
