Eleanor Health and Thriveworks Partner to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Access

Eleanor Health, an outpatient provider specializing in addiction treatment, has recently initiated a referral collaboration with Thriveworks, a prominent mental health service provider. This partnership aims to enhance the accessibility and quality of care for individuals dealing with substance use disorders (SUD) and other mental health issues.

With this new collaboration, members of Thriveworks in Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Washington will gain access to Eleanor Health’s specialized services for substance use disorders. Conversely, individuals within the Eleanor Health community will benefit from Thriveworks' wide array of specialized therapy services, including couples and family counseling. Both organizations offer their comprehensive care services through virtual and in-person formats.

William McKinney, CEO of Eleanor Health, highlighted the significant challenges people face in accessing addiction treatment, emphasizing the need for evidence-based care that supports long-term recovery. “We are excited to partner with Thriveworks, an organization that aligns with our mission to provide high-quality treatment. This partnership will significantly aid individuals struggling with addiction and mental health issues in leading fulfilling lives,” McKinney stated.

Eleanor Health provides a holistic treatment approach for individuals affected by addiction and co-occurring mental and physical health conditions. Their care model includes Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone), along with psychiatry, therapy, peer recovery coaching, nurse care management, and health advocacy and care coordination. These services are accessible both online and in-person at various Eleanor Health clinics.

Dr. Dan Frogel, CEO of Thriveworks, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, noting the shared commitment to treating the whole person. "Our objective is to ensure our clients receive the best possible care with ease. Collaborating with Eleanor allows us to merge our specialties and more effectively support the communities we serve,” Frogel remarked.

Eleanor Health is dedicated to dismantling barriers that individuals with substance use disorders encounter on their path to better health. Their evidence-based care model addresses the complex physical, mental, and psychosocial facets of addiction. By integrating medications for addiction treatment, psychiatry, therapy, peer recovery support, and healthcare navigation, Eleanor aims to help members achieve and maintain recovery. The organization operates in seven states: Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Washington.

Thriveworks, established in 2008 by Anthony Centore, Ph.D., is recognized for its extensive mental health services, offering both therapy and psychiatry.
