Personalized Care and Advanced Technology: Anonymous Health's Approach

This personalized approach ensures tailored support, ranging from counseling and medical services to peer support and case management. Additionally, the company has created an innovative mobile app called Mission Peak, which provides patients with evidence-based tools and activities to effectively manage their addiction. Interactive rewards, also known as contingency management, within the app drives engagement to encourage patients to stick with their recovery.
