An introduction to substance use management
Substance use management is an effective approach to supporting folks looking to improve their substance use and their health.
So, what is it?
Substance use management is a personalized approach to understanding the impacts of substance use on one’s body and managing one’s substance use to a healthy state. Substance use management can range from managing unhealthy substance consumption habits to medication-assisted treatment of active substance use disorders. It is a system of resources and a process for managing substance use based on individual health, habits, genetics, and goals.
Why it’s important
It’s our belief that managing substance use should be a top priority. Not just for those affected and their families, but also for the nation’s employers who bear the costs. We think businesses offer one of the best channels to solve this problem at scale. Which is why we’re building Pelago: a virtual clinic for substance use management that puts people and their health first.
Pathways to a brighter future
Our virtual clinic for substance use management is based on three care pathways, designed to propel members forward on their journey.
Support
For members who recognize patterns around substance use they want to change. Whether preventatively or for better health outcomes in general.
Manage
For members with consistent substance use habits that are looking for proactive support from counselors.
Treat
For members who need help managing a substance use disorder and require the ongoing support of a physician or nurse practitioner who can prescribe medication.
