MEDFORD, N.J., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinelands Recovery Center of Medford, one of the finest, most respected drug and alcohol treatment facilities in New Jersey and part of the Discovery Behavioral Health network, recently announced its partnership with MAP Health Management ("MAP"), the nation's leading provider of peer-recovery support services and data insights for people with Substance Use Disorders.

The MAP program provides peer recovery support services and clinical outcomes reporting to Pinelands to support the ongoing recovery of individuals who complete their treatment program. A hallmark of Pinelands program is to position each client for long term recovery – aftercare programs, alumni events and outcomes studies are part of this process.

Substance use disorder's impact on those with addictions and their families has both social and economic impacts. When providers collaborate, better outcomes can be achieved. MAP uses technology and a peer's lived experience to engage with those in recovery. MAP specializes in scalable delivery of certified peer recovery support services and outcomes tracking that are designed to provide longer-term support and provide a feedback loop of actionable data to help addiction treatment programs improve.

Pinelands will offer MAP's peer services to all clients who complete their residential and outpatient programs. The remote, telehealth nature of MAP's services enables patients to engage with peer services via MAP's video-based engagement platform or telephonically. In addition to supporting all Pinelands clients, MAP's peer specialists will also conduct on-going support sessions with family members involved in patients' treatment.

"Our patients are surrounded by a team of experts to lead them through stabilization and treatment," said Christian Losch, CEO of Pinelands. "The MAP program is part of our continuum of care to extend this network to alumni and their families, with the goal of lifelong recovery. We will also receive outcomes data to fuel continuous quality improvement in our clinical programs."

"MAP is excited to partner with Pinelands, a premier provider of addiction treatment. As with any chronic disease, continuous and personalized support paired with ongoing recovery progress assessment is essential to improving outcomes," said Jacob Levenson, CEO of MAP Health Management.
