AUSTIN, Texas, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MAP Health
Management ("MAP"), the nation's leading provider of peer-recovery
support services and data insights for people with Substance Use
Disorders, today announced it has partnered with Foundations
Recovery Network ("Foundations") to provide peer recovery support
services and clinical outcomes reporting to 18 Foundations
locations in five states. Foundations, one of the nation's leading
and most respected addiction treatment providers, has long placed
emphasis on the importance of aftercare and outcomes reporting for
their patients.
Substance Use Disorder continues to take a devastating toll
across the country in terms of lives lost and economic impact.
Innovative and collaborative approaches between health care payers,
providers and consumers can support better outcomes. MAP leverages
the power of technology and a peer's lived experience to engage
with those in recovery. MAP specializes in scalable delivery of
certified peer recovery support services and outcomes tracking that
are designed to provide longer-term support and provide a feedback
loop of actionable data to help addiction treatment programs
improve.
Foundations will offer MAP's peer services to all of its
patients being treated at its facilities in Georgia, California, Tennessee, Illinois and Michigan. The remote, telehealth nature of
MAP's services enables patients to engage with peer services via
MAP's video-based engagement platform or telephonically. In
addition to supporting all Foundations patients, MAP's peer
specialists will also conduct on-going support sessions with family
members involved in patients' treatment.
"We are pleased to leverage the expertise and proven support
infrastructure offered by MAP," said Matt
Feehery, CEO of Foundations Recovery Network.
"Expanding the care continuum and providing support for alumni and
their families promises to further improve long-term
recovery. MAP will also provide us with additional outcomes
data critical to our ongoing pursuit of optimizing the care we
deliver."
"MAP is excited to partner with Foundations Recovery Network, a
provider truly in the vanguard of the addiction treatment and
recovery industry. As with any chronic disease, continuous
and personalized support paired with ongoing recovery progress
assessment is essential to improving outcomes," said Jacob Levenson, CEO of MAP Health
