Your Road to Recovery

For the Better: How Tech & Data Are Changing the Treatment Landscape

Written by Country Road Recovery Center | Mar 19, 2024 8:17:25 PM

On the face of it, the approach to substance abuse treatment within the western world has changed very little from its inception. Behavioral therapy and medications have been used with the end result being abstinence since the Minnesota Model of treatment began in 1950. Despite being classified as a disease by the American Medical Association in 1987, there have been few innovations in the way we treat addiction. In this landscape, where lives hang in the balance, the need for precision, efficacy, and evolution is paramount. That's why Country Road has embraced the power of data-driven insights, leveraging technology like Pretaa to revolutionize our approach to client care and outcomes. 


Understanding Pretaa: A Beacon of Hope in Data Analytics


Pretaa isn't just another piece of technology; it's a path to getting the most out of your time in treatment. Developed with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by addiction treatment facilities and their clients, Pretaa provides a comprehensive suite of data analytics tools designed to empower Country Road and our clinical team to make  informed decisions and deliver highly personalized care. Pretaa is wearable technology (it looks like a watch) that each client wears during their time in treatment. The hardware connects to the Pretaa platform where biometric data can be analyzed in real time providing our staff with in-depth insights into the physical, mental, and emotional state of each individual.  


How Country Road Utilizes Pretaa for Better Outcomes


Tailoring Treatment Plans

We all come into treatment with our own story and unique struggles - that is why each person deserves a personalized treatment plan. Country Road uses Pretaa to analyze your medical history, behavior patterns, biopsychosocial assessment, and other data points to create a tailored path that can address your specific needs and circumstances. Then, during treatment, Pretaa provides real-time feedback so we can make changes when necessary to ensure that you are continuing down the right track and receiving the support and resources needed to achieve long-term recovery. 


Predictive Modeling for Relapse Prevention

The biggest threat to long-term sobriety is relapse. Preventing relapse is one of the greatest challenges we face in addiction treatment. By incorporating Pretaa’s real-time biometric feedback data in treatment planning and assessments, we are able to identify relapse risk factors and warning sights before they happen. This gives our clinical staff time to intervene proactively and provide targeted support where and when it’s most needed. 
Leveraging data to anticipate client challenges and addressing them preemptively, we are able to empower our clients to navigate the ups and downs of recovery with confidence and resilience.


Monitoring Progress and Outcomes

Data is only as good as what you do with it. At Country Road we utilize the data-driven insights we get from Pretaa to track your progress and evaluate the effectiveness of our treatment approaches. This allows us to not only make the necessary changes to your specific treatment plan but helps us understand what is working and not working on a program level. By monitoring sobriety milestones, attendance rates, and adherence to treatment protocols, as well as receiving client feedback via the platform, we can identify areas for improvement. We continuously monitor outcomes and adapt our approach based on empirical evidence so we can ensure our clients receive the highest quality care and achieve meaningful results. 


The Impact of Data-Driven Recovery

Country Road’s commitment to evidence-based recovery is about improving outcomes which results in transformed lives. Progress for the sake of progress is a hollow cliche. Progress for the sake of a better treatment experience and better odds of long-term recovery is something we can get behind. We’ve seen the positive effects of incorporating data and tech into treatment first hand. Watching the light come back into the eyes of someone who was previously hopeless. Celebrating that first year in recovery with our alumni. Hearing the wonder and awe in a former patient's voice as they talk about how their life has been transformed. This is the impact of what we do at Country Road.
