Continuous SUD treatment delivers $4-$5 in ROI for every $1 spent.

So why are we still funding episodic crisis intervention?

Untreated/poorly managed SUD: $35.3B in annual costs; Coordinated, continuous care: Compounding savings over years.

The business case is clear. The clinical case is proven. The tools exist.

What's missing is the willingness to shift from volume-based crisis care to value-based chronic disease management.

Customer Lifetime Value is transforming how healthcare approaches chronic disease management, including substance use disorders.

The hidden cost of mental health stigma💰

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people with substance use disorders receive treatment? The other 90% avoid care, often because of stigma and fear of judgment.

This isn't just a healthcare issue. It's an economic one. Mental health stigma costs the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually through delayed care, emergency interventions, and workforce disruption.

But there are proven strategies to address it, including digital tools that provide confidential access to support without the barriers of traditional care settings.

Learn more about the business case for reducing stigma 👇

The cost of mental health stigma creates a cascading effect that touches every aspect of society and must be addressed.

"Programs for pregnant people and babies exposed to drugs in the womb each received less than 1% of nationwide opioid settlement spending."

States, counties, and cities are receiving millions in opioid settlement money to address the addiction crisis. The ways they spent the dollars in 2024 sometimes drew criticism from advocates and at least one state official, who alleged misuse.

The Retention Math💰

30% of SUD patients drop out prematurely.

Each one represents $2,325 - $21,404 in lost revenue per episode for providers. For payers? $15,640 in annual attributed medical costs that compound year after year.

The gap isn't clinical-it's structural. Patients fall out during predictable transitions: referral to intake, first 90 days, and between care levels.

Digital recovery support tools bridge these gaps. The result: sustained engagement, better outcomes, stronger economics.

SUD treatment isn't episodic care. It's chronic disease management. Time to treat it that way.
