Eleanor Health and Thriveworks Establish Partnership to Expand Access to Substance Use Disorder Treatment

WALTHAM, Massachusetts — Eleanor Health (Eleanor), an outpatient addiction treatment provider working to transform the quality, delivery and accessibility of substance use disorder (SUD) care, has announced a referral partnership with leading mental health provider Thriveworks.

Through this partnership, Eleanor’s care for SUD will be available to Thriveworks members in Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Washington. In turn, Eleanor’s community members will have access to Thriveworks’ therapists with specialties beyond SUD, such as couples and family counseling. Eleanor and Thriveworks offer both virtual and in-person care.

“One of the biggest hurdles individuals face when seeking addiction treatment is access and availability, in addition to finding evidence-based care that enables true long-term recovery – not just a bandage,” said William McKinney, CEO of Eleanor Health. “We are thrilled to partner with an organization like Thriveworks that shares in our mission of providing high-quality treatment that gives anyone struggling with addiction and mental health concerns the ability to live an amazing, meaningful life.”

Eleanor delivers comprehensive, personalized care to people affected by addiction and associated mental and physical health conditions. Eleanor’s whole-person care model includes Medications for Addiction Treatment, such as Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone); psychiatry; therapy; peer recovery coaching; nurse care management; and health advocacy and care coordination. Care is delivered both virtually and at Eleanor’s clinics.

“This partnership between Thriveworks and Eleanor embodies our collective commitment to treating the whole person,” said Dr. Dan Frogel, CEO of Thriveworks. “Our goal is to help our clients find the best possible care, as seamlessly as possible. Together with Eleanor, we can bridge the gap between our specialties and better support the communities we serve.”
