New whitepaper measuring retention, illicit opioid abstinence, and member satisfaction shows that Groups’ 100% virtual treatment model achieves outcomes that mirror face-to-face therapy
BURLINGTON, Mass., December 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Groups Recover Together, a leading outpatient opioid treatment provider, today released new data showing that the company’s shift to 100% virtual care in the face of the pandemic led to no demonstrable reduction in quality outcomes for members.
Groups offers a differentiated clinical model that leverages the benefits of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in conjunction with high quality group counseling -- with the goal of building a supportive community that helps members solve the underlying issues that are often associated with opioid addiction. By removing a variety of barriers, including social, behavioral and economic factors, their model helps members find and maintain long-term recovery.
While the isolating effects of the pandemic have compounded on the challenges faced by individuals living with opioid addiction, Groups’ members have adjusted well to virtual treatment through their telehealth platform where all 6,000 members engage with their counselors and physicians each week. In direct comparison to the outcomes achieved through face-to-face treatment, including key metrics of retention, attendance and abstinence from illicit opioids, these measures have remained consistent.
