Spring Health has expanded its substance use disorder (SUD) support services by joining forces with Eleanor Health, a provider of addiction and SUD care.

This partnership aims to offer personalised and evidence-based care to individuals with mental health challenges and SUDs, filling the gap in traditional healthcare systems.

Under this collaboration, Spring Health's integrated mental health solution extends to include comprehensive SUD care, addressing the comorbidity often seen in these cases.

A press statement by Spring Health cites research, which has shown that an integrated approach can improve abstinence rates.

This new offering allows people in certain states to access specialised care for substance addiction through a unified programme.

Spring Health started its SUD programme in 2021 to offer ‘affordable’ care to individuals with different levels of SUD severity, regardless of where they are located.

With its expanding range of SUD services, Spring Health aims to make it easy for patients to receive care within their network.

Eleanor Health specialises in providing evidence-based care for individuals with SUDs and mental health needs, using technology and data-driven insights.

Eleanor Health co-founder and chief medical officer Dr Nzinga Harrison said: “We are delighted to partner with companies like Spring Health that share our mission of driving better outcomes among people struggling with addiction and other mental health conditions.

“Spring Health members in states where Eleanor is available now have access to our whole-person care model, which addresses the physical, mental and psychosocial aspects of addiction to help members achieve and sustain recovery.”
