Employers
Medicus offers employers a high quality and cost effective behavioral & mental health solution, backed by outcome data. We have a decade of expertise treating all types of substance abuse and mental health disorders.
We offer two intensive treatment tracts: One for substance abuse and a second for mental health. Both tracts are based on a multidisciplinary approach and integrate services of psychiatrists and psychologists, addictionologists, pain management specialists, therapists and case managers. We offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opiate abuse and are the first and only telehealth program to offer medical detox as well. Because we know many employees have become addicted to opiates because of chronic pain syndromes, we have pain management specialists that provide alternative non opiate based pain treatment. Our psychiatrists work closely with clients in both tracts to optimize medications for mental health. Clients in both tracts receive intensive group and individual counseling which they attend via live video conferencing at the convenience of their home. Case managers work closely with employer HR and EAP’s to work on job re integration and also can evaluate worksites for stress level reduction to enhance employee mental health. Once treatment has been completed, we continue to engage the employee and perform intensive monitoring for one full year to ensure compliance and stability, thus ensuring long term success.
Because proactive intervention is the most cost effective treatment option with the highest long term efficacy, we also provide advanced data analytics to evaluate for employees at high risk of substance abuse or mental health disorders; this proactive approach allows us to intervene and treat disorders sooner before small problems become costly and complex.
Best of all, employees do not need to be absent from work to receive treatment. Our program works around their work schedule and treatment is delivered to them wherever they are, rural or urban, national or international
