Groups Recover Together, an American organization dedicated to providing care for opioid addiction treatment, has announced the launch of its digital app. The proprietary platform will allow the organization's members to access the full suite of the Group's services via one easy-to-use, downloadable app.
According to Dr. Jacob “Gus” Crothers MD, Chief Medical and Outcomes Officer at Groups, the app is all about "improving access to quality OUD care to all who need it -- regardless of who they are or where they live.” As a result, the platform will offer a variety of user-centric features, including outreach, self-scheduling, treatment planning, contextualized content, group therapy, and more.
The app is said to significantly simplify the paperwork process making it easy for new members to onboard. And once finished with the onboarding process, members will be provided direct access to group counseling.
