King of Prussia, PA, June 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recovery Centers of America (RCA), a leading network of substance use disorder treatment facilities in the East, Midwest and South, is joining a first-of-its-kind nationwide network which will seek to increase access and improve patient outcomes.
RCA offers a full continuum of clinically validated, individualized treatment programs to help those with substance use disorders find lasting sobriety. Through a new partnership with Pelago – a digital clinic partner to businesses and health plans for substance use management – RCA will extend its dependable support structure for members embarking on the path to recovery and simultaneously improving treatment outcomes along the way.
“At RCA, we recognize the importance – and often lifesaving necessity – of meeting patients where they are,” said Brett Cohen, Chief Executive Officer at Recovery Centers of America (RCA). “Not only will this new, innovative model allow us to further share our world-class treatment program with Pelago’s members, but it will also give us the tools to improve care completion rates – moving us one step closer to our goal of saving one million lives.”
Through this groundbreaking Centers of Excellence network, Pelago is the first digital substance use treatment provider for tobacco, alcohol, opioids and cannabis with a network of pre-vetted inpatient treatment centers. Once RCA is identified as the provider best-suited for members in need of high-acuity care, RCA will provide evidence-based treatment and around-the-clock care in a structured, healing environment. Upon discharge, the organizations will work together to support patients and prevent relapse and readmission.
“It’s incredibly challenging for patients in need of high-acuity care to find the right treatment centers – not to mention the barriers individuals face, from cost to referrals, when it comes to entering recovery,” said Yusuf Sherwani, M.D., Co-Founder and CEO of Pelago. “To address these challenges, we’re partnering with RCA to provide proper clinical referrals and care management pathways, with the ultimate goal of ensuring members receive the right care, at the right time, in the right treatment facility.”
