August 1, 2019 — Pathroot Health, formerly InterAct LifeLine, today launched the first in a series of online technology solutions designed to reduce addiction relapse, improve long-term recovery care, and offer drug abuse prevention support for families. Pathroot helps addiction treatment and collegiate recovery programs leverage technology to better serve their clients, students, and families, keeping them connected and improving patient outcomes.

"Pathroot's new technology automates how drug treatment programs manage and educate their clients, keeps them connected to the program during the post-treatment aftercare phase, and provides families the resources to support their loved ones through recovery. In addition, Pathroot integrates with mobile technology used by drug and accountability courts in over 29 states to monitor participants. This mobile platform provides structure to keep individuals accountable to their care plan and promotes safety to improve recovery success."
— Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Pathroot Health

The Pathroot solution provides addiction treatment and collegiate recovery programs with a custom branded knowledge portal for wellness and recovery education populated with an ongoing stream of new content. The mobile platform and smart phone app communicate with clients for reminders and status checks and provides connections to treatment professionals both online and in person. Clients and their families can participate in virtual support groups, online classes, and discussion forums.

"Addiction is a chronic disease that claims more than 70,000 American lives a year, costing almost a trillion dollars in healthcare, criminal justice, and work-related costs," added Bradfield. "My 29-year-old daughter was one of those victims who died from a drug overdose that potentially could have been prevented with this technology. Our program will improve safety and streamline processes to help programs and families better support those affected by this disease, protect them, and put them on a path to long-term wellness."

Pathroot launched its first pilot programs in the collegiate recovery community with 6 major universities beginning in August 2019. Five regional drug treatment programs piloted Pathroot that fall, implementing the technology and educational solution as an aftercare program for their clients, as well as a unique family support connection. All treatment facilities received branded portals for clients and families, a continuous flow of education and content, the mobile application for structure and accountability, along with analytics to monitor results.
