Revolutionary Strategies in Substance Use Disorder Treatment

A recent episode of THCB featured a compelling dialog between Matthew Holt, Stephanie Strong—CEO of Boulder Care—and Marianna Zaslavsky, the newly appointed Head of Growth. Their conversation focused on Boulder Care’s groundbreaking telehealth platform that offers medication-assisted treatment for those facing substance use challenges. Stephanie has become a leading voice advocating for improved access to care for patients, especially those covered by Medicaid. She has led efforts urging the DEA to preserve telehealth options for treating substance use disorders.

The Impact of Telehealth on Accessibility

Marianna joined Boulder Care this summer with a clear objective: to enhance patient access through managed care frameworks. The discussion underscored Boulder’s dedication to harm reduction methods while also addressing potential obstacles posed by expected cuts in Medicaid funding associated with the Build Back Better Act (BBB). Both leaders stressed the necessity of maintaining support systems for individuals who depend on these essential services.

An Urgent Appeal: Safeguarding Medicaid Services

Boulder Care is actively involved in an initiative known as Majority for Medicaid, which aims to raise awareness about how proposed funding reductions could negatively impact at-risk communities. Personal narratives detailing these effects are available on their website and serve as impactful testimonials.
