Overview
Each year, approximately one-fifth 1 of adults enrolled in mental health treatment programs drop out before completing their recommended course.
This is an issue faced by all mental health care programs. How can a program keep persons served motivated, accountable and supported 24-hours-a-day for as long as they need in order to improve their lives? At their core, successful programs are those that provide the support necessary for someone to become an active participant in their own health and well-being. Because politics, economics and federal regulations all keep the relationship between health care providers and patients in a constant state of flux, increasing staff is often not viable. Programs cannot rely on government funding and shifts in reimbursement models require that we address patient populations with complex or chronic conditions in a new way. BehavioralRx ® is a science that considers the behavioral/cognitive triggers that motivate individuals to take action through remote, round-the-clock support that is personalized and responsive. A year after its introduction, this new “lifestyle” system of care resulted in higher patient retention, improved patient experience and increased revenue.

BehavioralRx care plans combine the science of human behavior with cognitive learning, memory retention and a delivery via interactive mobile “smart” technology — a combination that has the potential to revolutionize the way we provide health care.
