To achieve this string of successes, their team implemented Soberlink which "helps our participants stay accountable, building trust back with their loved ones, and ultimately helping to create lasting sobriety," says Jenna Koski, Connection Program Manager.

Avenues NYC Uses Soberlink to Remotely Stay Connected with Clients Outside of Sober Living Facility
Jesse Harlan, Chief Operating Officer at Avenues NYC found that post treatment aftercare is associated with significantly lower rates of relapse. “Since we began using Soberlink in 2017,” says Jesse, “we have had multiple incidents where a client’s sent BAC report has been the catalyst for added support. With Soberlink, we are able to see when a slip happens in real-time and then collaborate with a client’s treatment team to quickly and safely stabilize a client. Soberlink has afforded us many opportunities to support our clients in new and effective ways.”
Blanchard Case Study: Addressing Alcohol-Related Triggers with Real-Time Alcohol Monitoring
Ward Blanchard, Founder and CEO of Blanchard Institute explains how the prevalence of alcohol presents a problem for people in recovery from Alcohol use Disorder. “Alcohol is such a prevalent part of our culture,” says Ward Blanchard, Founder and CEO of The Blanchard Institute. “This makes it impossible for clients to avoid triggers in the same way they may be able to do with other substances... There have been quite a number of instances where Soberlink has helped us shorten a window of recurrent use and intervene to connect our clients with needed supports to get back on track with sobriety."
Ayre Counseling Case Study: Remote Monitoring Technology Meets Quality Addiction Treatment
Dr. Kieran Ayre or Ayre Counseling discovered that “An enormous disconnect exists between the point of care when the provider conducts an assessment and offers intervention during the clinical encounter, and the “point of choice,” when the patient decides to drink or not to drink in real-time." Because of this, he implemented Soberlink to "allow us to intervene immediately with patients and their families,” says. Dr. Ayre. “Since we can respond in real-time, transgressions, slips, and return to use episodes tend to be briefer and with fewer extreme consequences.”
