    DynamiCare Health Company Overview

    Humans innately respond to positive reinforcement, whether it's a pay raise for doing a good job at work or boosting your child’s allowance for helping more around the house, it makes us feel good and want to do it more. Research has shown that positive reinforcement can also be extremely effective in the treatment of drug abuse. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time and DynamiCare Health was created to help solve this issue. 

    Dynamicare is scientifically proven to increase your chances of getting sober and staying sober. They use a comprehensive telehealth program that reinforces your recovery from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco that combines a smartphone app, a support coach, tools and techniques for accountability, and rewards to help keep you motivated in your journey to recovery. Dynamicare will match you with a certified recovery coach who you will meet with weekly by video chat and you are able to text them anytime. You are able to measure your progress with the provided breathalyzer or saliva drug tests that will be performed using the Dynamicare app with a selfie video. You are also able to earn up to $300 in rewards if you complete the recommended steps, it will be loaded onto a smart debit card that blocks cash withdrawals and unsafe spending at liquor stores and bars.

    Dynamicare uses a rewards-based treatment approach called Contingency Management (CM). CM uses the power of incentives for successful recovery from addiction. CM manages the disease of substance use disorder by using rewards that are contingent on healthy behavior There have been over 170 scientific studies on using CM to treat those with alcohol or drug problems. You are able to view the leading research on this treatment approach on the Dynamicare website. CM is recommended by the U.S. Surgeon General, the NIH, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine
