About PursueCare:
PursueCare brings virtual evidence-based addiction treatment for opioids, alcohol, and other substance use disorders to patients through a smart phone application. PursueCare offers a low-barrier transitional digital addiction treatment program particularly beneficial for those experiencing significant barriers to in-person care. Through the app, patients can access doctors who prescribe Medically-assisted Treatment (“MAT”), counselors and therapists, psychiatric care providers, at-home screening, supporting resources and a pharmacy that can ship medications directly to the patient. We partner with health systems, community health partners, employers, and health plans. Patients can also seek treatment without a referral. We are Joint Commission-accredited and maintain the highest standards for clinical excellence, while continually innovating how care is provided to vulnerable populations. PursueCare is available in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and all of New England, with national expansion plans. For more information, visit www.pursuecare.com.
We offer qualifying employees flexible paid time off to allow our team members to properly recharge, competitive pay, bonus opportunities, comprehensive health benefits and a 401K with company contributions. PursueCare is headquartered in Middletown, CT with satellite locations in different regions. We offer work-from-home/remote opportunities for certain positions, based upon being able to meet the core competencies and requirements for the position from a home office. We pledge to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and pay living wages.
PursueCare is a technology-enabled healthcare provider working to solve the nation’s growing opioid epidemic. Our mission is to improve the lives of people currently in recovery and those seeking help for the first time by making it easier to access evidence-based and stigma-free addiction treatment as quickly as possible.
Our unique telehealth program is available via an app for iOS/Android mobile devices. Our app provides virtual access to qualified physicians who can prescribe Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone. We also offer counseling, psychiatry, and care coordination, along with mail-order pharmacy services, all through a phone, covered by insurance.
PursueCare brings together care teams and supporting resources into a network of high-quality, evidence-based treatment covering the entire Northeast, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio. We offer on-demand, interventive, and transitional options for patients coming from hospital inpatient and emergency departments, primary care, and community health clinics that traditionally lack timely options for patients in need of help. Our programs are being implemented with insurance plans, employers, and universities looking to increase support options at low cost.
We also partner with leading addiction treatment centers and hospitals to extend existing therapy solutions, provide mail-order medication solutions, increase aftercare options, and improve value-based outcomes.
We are growing rapidly and looking for qualified clinicians and compassionate staff to support the work we do with patients and health partners. Are you interested in changing the discussion about substance use, and changing lives? We would love to work with you. Contact us!
