29 September 2023

Spring Health, the world's most comprehensive mental health solution for employers and health plans, has unveiled a significant expansion of its support services for substance use disorders (SUD) through a groundbreaking partnership with Eleanor Health. Eleanor Health is a renowned provider of both in-person and virtual care for addiction and substance use disorders.

The collaboration between Spring Health and Eleanor Health is poised to revolutionize mental health support related to SUD, ensuring that all members receive personalized care that addresses the full spectrum of their needs. This innovative partnership bridges a critical gap in conventional healthcare systems by offering tailored, evidence-based care for individuals facing severe mental health challenges and substance use disorders.

Dr. Nzinga Harrison, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Eleanor Health, expressed enthusiasm for this partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to join forces with organizations like Spring Health that share our mission of improving outcomes for individuals grappling with addiction and other mental health conditions. Spring Health members residing in states where Eleanor operates can now access our holistic care model, which encompasses the physical, mental, and psychosocial dimensions of addiction, enabling them to achieve and maintain recovery."

Spring Health's commitment to its partner network includes comprehensive care navigation for individuals contending with substance use disorders and concurrent mental health issues. Extensive research underscores the benefits of integrated treatment in boosting abstinence rates due to the high prevalence of comorbidity. This latest offering empowers members in select states to access specialized care for addictive substances within a unified program that offers comprehensive support.

April Koh, CEO and Co-Founder of Spring Health, emphasized the significance of this expansion, saying, "Through our collaboration with Eleanor to expand our substance use disorder program, we are delivering another crucial avenue for specialized care, meeting each member at their unique point in their mental health and addiction journey. Substance use disorders present significant challenges for countless individuals and families, and we remain committed to addressing the diverse needs of those seeking support on their path to overcoming these challenges."

Spring Health launched its SUD program in 2021 with the aim of providing individuals across the entire spectrum of SUD severity with convenient, high-quality, and affordable care, regardless of their location. With an expanding array of SUD services, Spring Health ensures that patients can seamlessly and easily access in-network, affordable care at the first sign of need.
