"Meeting people where they’re at means putting in the time and resources to deliver innovative solutions. Technology tools such as apps and digital communities are far more likely to appeal to millennials and lead to better outcomes," said Auchterlonie. People with prescription pill dependency need to be listened to and treated as the smart, capable people they are not brought into the rehab world and treated like addicts in denial. The relapse and recidivism rates are embarrassing,” Auchterlonie said. “The lack of outcomes data is horrifically embarrassing.”
