Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers and health plans, and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, the nation's leading nonprofit provider of comprehensive addiction and mental health care today announced their collaboration to deliver the highest quality, specialized care for individuals and families battling with substance use disorder.
Accessing high-quality mental health and substance use treatment can be complicated and overwhelming. Often, programs aren’t accepting new patients or are out of network and prohibitively expensive. As part of Lyra’s Complex Care program, Lyra and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation are working together to help employers, families, and individuals more easily get connected to the right care for their needs.
“Our Complex Care program is anchored to four key pillars: a specialized network of facility partners, dedicated multidisciplinary team of experts, comprehensive assessment and triage process, and true end-to-end support,” said Dr. Smita Das, Vice President of Psychiatry and Complex Care, Lyra Health. “We are incredibly proud to work with Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation to ensure that we deliver a highly coordinated level of care and family support to help individuals achieve their long-term substance use recovery goals.”
“As the nation’s leader and most trusted source of high-quality care, successful outcomes and comprehensive behavioral health capabilities, Hazelden Betty Ford is grateful to work with a strong, like-minded collaborator like Lyra Health to extend their continuum and ultimately reach more people in the workplace,” said Bob Poznanovich, Hazelden Betty Ford’s chief business growth officer. ”Lyra is the first collaborator to fully leverage our new navigation model to maximize support and coordination of care for patients and their families and create a more tightly integrated continuum. We’re excited to be working together.”
Hazelden Betty Ford provides treatment for adults, teens, and children identified for treatment, - and critical guidance and skill-building for caregivers throughout the entire care journey. Together, Lyra and Hazelden Betty Ford provide:
- Timely access to high-quality care: For an individual or family member seeking treatment, a dedicated Complex Care Specialist is assigned to ensure a continuum of seamless step-up and step-down care. Lyra’s dedicated program for substance use disorder and recovery supports all outpatient care and offers highly specialized therapy, medication management and confidential group sessions to support long term recovery. For more acute needs, Hazelden Betty Ford provides inpatient rehabilitation programs. Patients will receive streamlined intake and admission at any of Hazelden Betty Ford’s facilities located throughout the U.S.
- Dedicated multidisciplinary oversight team to manage care transitions between providers: Lyra Renew recovery support providers, the Complex Care team, and Hazelden Betty Ford work together to plan effortless transitions for patients who are moving from one level of care to another. This team works closely with the individual and their family to minimize wait or red tape.
- Support for the whole family: Caregivers play a critical support role in the long-term success of substance use recovery. Fast access to provider support, educational information, and tools to address the needs of the whole family are available throughout the outpatient and inpatient experience.
