NEW YORK, July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kaden Health,
Inc. announced today that the company will begin providing virtual
treatment services for Opioid Use Disorder for people living in
New Jersey effective
immediately.
Kaden's Virtual Medication Assisted Treatment (vMAT) program is
a fully integrated approach to treating those suffering from Opioid
Use Disorder. Based on the gold standard of Medication Assisted
Treatment and leveraging advanced, proprietary virtual technology,
the program is more convenient, intuitive, and simple to use than
traditional MAT and early evidence indicates it produces better
engagement and outcomes. But beyond simply breaking down geographic
and logistical barriers to entering and sustaining treatment,
Kaden's platform also integrates all aspects of the patient's
therapy and medical care, and supplies the patient with a concierge
Patient Advocate available at any point along their treatment
journey.
Kaden's coordinated approach is centered, from the first visit
with a medical professional through all succeeding virtual visits
and therapy, on the Kaden Technology Platform. This leading-edge
intuitive interface allows the patient, therapist, medical
prescriber, and the advocate all to communicate and collaborate in
ways that ultimately help the patient to reclaim a healthy,
productive lifestyle.
"We are incredibly excited to bring the benefits of the Kaden
vMAT program and platform to the people of New Jersey. The COVID-19 outbreak has
highlighted the need to provide effective virtual treatment when
physical proximity carries its own inherent risks," said
Dave Henderson, CEO of Kaden. "Our
founding mission is to help people affected by Opioid Use Disorder,
humanizing their treatment and giving them the tools to make access
to treatment possible wherever they are."
After the first visit with a prescriber, a patient can then
attend all following medical and therapy appointments using any
smartphone, tablet, or PC with an internet connection from the
comfort of their homes or any convenient and private location.
Kaden is commencing its New
Jersey launch in coordination with Horizon Healthcare
Services, Inc. (Horizon), New
Jersey's largest and oldest health insurer. All
Kaden-affiliated medical prescribers and therapists will be
in-network for all Horizon commercial members.
Kaden's expansion into New
Jersey – the most densely populated state in the nation and
among the first major hotspots for coronavirus cases in the U.S. –
marks an important step for the company in providing much needed
services to those working toward recovery when access to more
traditional brick and mortar-based and inpatient services presents
potential health risks.
"With a focus on treating the whole-person and integrated care
support systems for our 3.5 million members, Horizon is
methodically building a network of best-in-class organizations to
provide a full range of services to help individuals receive the
treatment, support and behavioral health services they need," said
Suzanne Kunis, Vice-President of
Behavioral Health at Horizon. "As an industry leader in MAT
excellence through its virtual services, Kaden Health's arrival in
New Jersey is good news for
Horizon members."
"We're doing everything possible at Kaden to ensure that the
effects of one epidemic don't exacerbate the spread of another,"
said Henderson.
