30–40 million people in recovery from a substance use disorder in the U.S. But only 2–3 million active members of 12-Step groups. So where is everybody else? Where are they? Other pathways, says William Moyers.

In any given year, 9 out of 10 people who need treatment for substance use disorder don't receive it. One of the primary reasons for that is people don't know where to go for treatment. We are very excited to have won the Wisconsin Department of Health Services grant to help Wisconsin residents find life-saving addiction treatment through Recovery.com! With the DHS funding we are able to focus specific efforts and resources over the next 4 years on making sure that the data we have on Wisconsin treatment centers is extremely high-quality, helpful, and findable by Wisconsinites in need.

Our team looked at search traffic trends on Recovery.com. We found 5 behavioral health trends. Final trend: Sober living. With outpatient care increasing, housing becomes an even more important social determinant for patients. In 2024, Recovery.com saw a 101% increase in users searching for sober living—facilities that offer safe housing and structured, supportive living conditions for people transitioning from residential addiction and mental health programs back into “the real world.” To meet that demand, providers and payers are looking to incorporate this into their offerings. According to a December 2024 article in Behavioral Health Business, “sober living is poised to become increasingly common across the [substance use disorder] treatment industry, offering clinical and financial benefits while aligning with payer interests.” Trey Laird, the Founder and CEO of The Lighthouse Recovery Residences and Recovery 365, noted that “because the payors are reluctant to pay for residential treatment costs but are willing to pay for PHP and IOP, recovery residences will see significant growth. Some of the facilities will be high quality and thrive. Others will be poor quality and won’t survive.” Read about all five trends on Recovery.com >> https://lnkd.in/guakHvXJ

Our team looked at search traffic trends on Recovery.com. We found 5 behavioral health trends. 4th trend: Depression. In 2024, depression remained the number one most searched condition on Recovery.com, seeing a growth of 231% users from 2023. On the positive side, reduced stigma and new models of care are allowing more people to seek care for depression. But it’s hard to find a study that doesn’t report rising incidence rates. The factors contributing to this rise in depression are debated but the most frequently cited reasons include loneliness and social isolation which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, and social media use.

When you get 80 people together from all over the country for a team retreat, really cool things happen. For the first time ever, we had a stage for our speakers. Trey Laird from our Advisory Board joined us for a fireside chat. Jeremiah Calvino did a tutorial on Gemini. Amanda Uphoff shared the story of our first-ever grant win. But the best part? Being together in person. Playing golf. Having dinner. Knowing people on a human level. You can have the best strategy, the best tech, the best everything. But if you don't have that fellowship, that human connection? Good luck. Huge shoutout to Olivia Marcellino and Stacy Leverenz for putting this whole thing together. They made it look easy. It wasn't. Our team at Recovery.com is our greatest asset. Grateful for the time and space to be together.

Our team looked at search traffic trends on Recovery.com. We found 5 behavioral health trends. 3rd trend: Outpatient growth. The pressure to work and continue to navigate life while going through treatment continues to grow. As a result patients who may otherwise look for a residential treatment option are increasingly seeking out more flexible care options. Forces outside the patient’s control are also increasing the growth of outpatient and virtual care. - Insurance companies are moving away from suggesting in-patient treatment because of the high cost. - And a shortage of mental health professionals, especially in rural areas, has made in-person care generally harder to access.

William C. Moyers from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation on multiple pathways to recovery: Once upon a time, we thought 12-step was the one and only pathway. And that pathway worked for millions and millions of people. But it's not always enough to quiet the craving brain.
