Sonara Health

Almost none of the work we do at Sonara would be possible without the support of partners who align with our mission of making methadone accessible. If you're interested in partnering with us, here's how you can get involved: 👉 Policymakers: Advocate for policies that enable sustainable reimbursement and equitable access to methadone treatment. 👉 Payors: Collaborate with us to see how Sonara can increase treatment retention and cost savings, then update your OTP fee schedules to incorporate reimbursement for remote therapeutic monitoring 👉 Researchers: Partner with Sonara on a clinical study to demonstrate the efficacy of remotely observed methadone dosing. Together, we can safely remove barriers to methadone treatment and improve outcomes in the process. Ready to learn more? Get in touch today at https://lnkd.in/eZGVWNXG 

Without patients and providers having a clear understanding of what the opportunities with methadone treatment are, many patients are under the assumption that methadone can’t fit into their lifestyle. In reality, as patients progress in recovery, they often qualify for take-home doses, minimizing clinic trips. With tools like Sonara, OTPs can confidently issue these take-home doses, making care more flexible while maintaining safety. Our latest blog post explores common misconceptions around methadone treatment from both a patient and provider perspective.

The holiday season can be joyful, but for those in recovery from Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), it may also bring challenges and additional stress. Here are some ways you can support loved ones in recovery during the holidays: 🌟 Create a Safe & Supportive Environment: Let them know it’s okay to set boundaries and prioritize self-care 🌟 Be Mindful of Potential Triggers: Holiday gatherings can bring up past emotions or stressors. If they are comfortable, ask them about their triggers and help create strategies to navigate social situations 🌟 Encourage Healthy Routines: Staying active, eating well, and prioritizing sleep can make a difference during the chaos of the holiday season 🌟 Prepare for Setbacks: If you know a patient in an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), remember that their care team is a valuable resource. Understand that relapse can happen, and it’s important not to approach it with judgment 🌟 Encourage Utilizing Mental Health Support: If your loved one is facing mental health challenges over the holidays, recommend they check in with their OTP care team or use their insurance provider directory to find a counselor or therapist.

Opioid settlement funds present a unique opportunity to drive innovation within OTPs.
