Revolving Door of Care

Many who seek treatment for addiction are stuck in a cycle of ineffective care, often referred to as the “washing-machine model” — where patients go through the same treatments over and over, without lasting results. Out-of-network treatment centers with questionable quality often charge predatory prices and prioritize profit over patient outcomes, trapping individuals in endless cycles of expensive and dissapointing relapses. Two-thirds of individuals treated for AUD relapse within six months. (Source.)

Carrum Health breaks this cycle by partnering with top Centers of Excellence (COEs) that deliver evidence-based, personalized care. Our program ensures employees receive the right treatment quickly, with no out-of-pocket costs. This isn’t just a benefit — it’s hope, recovery, and a second chance at life.

Carrum Health’s comprehensive, value-based solution for substance use treatment was designed to reduce costs and get your employees healthier quicker.

Carrum's Commitment to Quality

At Carrum, quality is our guiding principle, driving all of our service lines, including substance use disorder (SUD) care. Our approach begins with a rigorous, proprietary evaluation process to select only the best providers. We assess whether they:

  • Screen patients correctly
  • Follow clinical guidelines
  • Achieve measurable outcomes like reduced substance use and sustained sobriety

We emphasize evidence-based care, evaluating providers’ protocols, handling of patients with comorbidities, and family support programs. We also assess how they manage step-down care and ensure continuity for patients transitioning out of their program.

To ensure continued excellence, we implement financial incentives and penalties for providers, holding them accountable for their care quality. This alignment of incentives ensures long-term success and better patient outcomes.

At Carrum Health, we’re not just providing a service — we’re transforming lives. By removing financial barriers and ensuring access to quick, high-quality, and personalized care, we’re giving patients the opportunity to break free from the cycle of addiction and reclaim their lives.
