The holiday season can be particularly stressful for individuals in treatment for substance use disorders (SUD), increasing their need for support. Meanwhile, behavioral health providers face heightened demands, which can lead to exhaustion and burnout, jeopardizing the quality of care they deliver.
Empower Your Practice with Digital Health Tools
Around any holiday, it’s crucial to recognize how digital health tools can enhance recovery support for clients while alleviating stress for providers and staff. CHESS Health’s eRecovery solution suite offers essential resources like Connections, a peer-assisted recovery support app. This innovative tool complements traditional care models by providing a peer-moderated online community, access to digital support meetings, and critical recovery tools, including digital CBT. During periods of isolation and heightened triggers, Connections ensures 24/7 crisis support, creating a seamless treatment ecosystem that prioritizes support for individuals through their journey while extending providers’ reach and providing peace of mind.
Moreover, the Companion app is a valuable resource for family, friends, and caregivers, equipping them to navigate the unique challenges their loved ones face during the holidays.
With these comprehensive support tools available at their fingertips, providers can rest assured their clients are well-supported.
