Addiction Treatment Leader JourneyPure Accelerates Growth, Adds Ten New Outpatient Centers in Southeast

JourneyPure, a leading provider of addiction treatment services for patients from across the nation, today announced a significant expansion of its treatment network with the addition of 10 outpatient centers during 2018 in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. Through a combination of inpatient facilities, outpatient centers and proprietary coaching services and technologies, JourneyPure delivers a full continuum of integrated, high quality services to assist each patient in becoming and staying healthy.

“JourneyPure specializes in treating individuals suffering from co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders and recognizes that most people can be treated effectively and efficiently on an outpatient basis,” stated JourneyPure CEO and co-founder Kevin Lee. “The addition of these 10 outpatient addiction treatment centers reinforces our commitment to the long-term recovery of our patients by providing a full continuum of services to support their needs.”

“The JourneyPure outpatient centers make treatment accessible for individuals with career and family obligations that prevent them from an inpatient stay. The outpatient centers also provide a smooth transition and continuity of care for patients initially treated in our inpatient facilities,” said Lee. “Regardless of treatment facility type, all JourneyPure patients benefit from our industry-leading JourneyPure Coaching™ program and app, proprietary tools to prevent relapse and promote recovery.”

The 10 new outpatient centers include five locations in the state of Tennessee: two JourneyPure Nashville centers, two JourneyPure Knoxville centers, JourneyPure Clarksville and JourneyPure Franklin. The new Kentucky centers are JourneyPure Louisville and JourneyPure Lexington, while JourneyPure Fort Walton Beach and JourneyPure Orlando are in Florida. With these centers being opened during 2018, JourneyPure operates a total of 19 outpatient centers.

“JourneyPure’s services are needed now more than ever as opioid abuse has reached epidemic proportions,” stated Dr. Sam MacMaster, addiction industry pioneer and JourneyPure co-founder, executive vice president and chief clinical officer. “Our team of experienced clinicians and addiction specialists has developed truly innovative programs to identify the underlying issues driving addiction and support lasting recovery.”

Recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that from 1999 to 2016 more than 630,000 people died from drug overdoses. Around 66% of the more than 63,000 drug overdose deaths in 2016 involved an opioid. In 2016, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioids and illegal opioids like heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl) was five times higher than in 1999. On average, 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.

JourneyPure has been rapidly expanding its footprint in regional markets and currently serves patients from across the nation through inpatient facilities, outpatient clinics and sober living homes in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Florida. The six residential facilities include JourneyPure At The River and JourneyPure Voyage in Murfreesboro, Tennessee; JourneyPure Knoxville in Knoxville, Tennessee; JourneyPure Bowling Green in Bowling Green, Kentucky; JourneyPure Emerald Coast in Panama City Beach, Florida; JourneyPure 12 Keys Rehab in Jensen Beach, Florida; and a new inpatient facility being developed in Melbourne, Florida.

Addiction Treatment Pioneer JourneyPure Continues Rapid Growth, Expands Regional Footprint with Eight New Outpatient Centers

JourneyPure, a leading provider of addiction treatment services for patients from across the nation, today announced a significant expansion of its treatment network with the addition of eight outpatient centers in Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. Through a combination of inpatient facilities, outpatient centers and proprietary coaching services and technologies, JourneyPure delivers a full continuum of integrated, high quality services to assist each patient in becoming and staying healthy.

“JourneyPure’s eight new outpatient addiction treatment centers reinforce our commitment to the long-term recovery of our patients by providing a full continuum of services to support their needs,” stated JourneyPure CEO and co-founder Kevin Lee. “Most patients can be effectively and efficiently treated on an outpatient basis and do not require the controlled environment of a residential facility.”

“JourneyPure has designed flexible outpatient programs to make treatment accessible to those who have career and family obligations that prevent them from an inpatient stay,” said Lee. “Individuals participating in outpatient treatment also benefit from the use of our industry-leading JourneyPure Coaching™ app, which helps prevent relapse and promotes long-term recovery from addiction.”

The new outpatient addiction treatment centers are located in proximity to existing JourneyPure inpatient facilities to provide a smooth transition and continuity of care. JourneyPure’s team of clinicians and addiction specialists has developed innovative programs to meet the specialized needs of patients, many of whom suffer from co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders.

The Tennessee outpatient centers being added are JourneyPure Nashville, JourneyPure Columbia, JourneyPure Murfreesboro, JourneyPure Tullahoma and JourneyPure Knoxville. The new Kentucky centers are JourneyPure Louisville and JourneyPure Paducah, while JourneyPure Orlando is being added in Florida. The Nashville, Knoxville, Louisville, Paducah and Orlando clinics are opening in October and November, while the other clinics are operational.

“Patients who have completed detoxification and a residential or inpatient program can benefit from the services of these new centers. Outpatient programs can help these individuals maintain progress so that the threat of relapse is significantly reduced,” stated Dr. Sam MacMaster, addiction industry pioneer and co-founder, executive vice president and chief clinical officer of JourneyPure.

“JourneyPure truly helps patients receive the drug and alcohol addiction treatment they need and deserve. We do so by providing evidence-based treatments along with dual diagnosis to address co-occurring mental health issues and root out the underlying triggers causing the patient to abuse substances,” said Dr. MacMaster. “In today’s world, JourneyPure’s services are needed more than ever. The alarming increase in opioid use as well as trends in prescription drug abuse are key factors that have fueled JourneyPure’s growth.”

Recent CDC reports show that from 2000 to 2015 more than half a million people died from drug overdoses. Since 1999, the number of opioid overdose deaths has quadrupled, and 91 Americans now die every day from an opioid overdose. It has been estimated that more than 15 million individuals in the U.S. are currently abusing prescription drugs.

JourneyPure has been rapidly expanding its footprint in regional markets and currently serves patients from across the nation through six inpatient facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida, as well as numerous sober living homes and outpatient clinics.

Addiction Treatment Leader JourneyPure Expands Services to Professionals through Acquisition of The Center for Professional Excellence

JourneyPure, a leading provider of addiction treatment services, today announced the acquisition of The Center for Professional Excellence, one of the oldest and most highly regarded treatment centers for professionals in the United States. For 21 years, The Center for Professional Excellence (CPE) has helped thousands of professionals who struggle with addiction and other behavioral impairments and has one of the highest long-term recovery rates in the industry. JourneyPure provides a full continuum of addiction treatment services through inpatient facilities, sober living homes and outpatient clinics, as well as proprietary coaching services and technologies. Both businesses are headquartered in the Nashville, Tennessee area and serve patients from across the nation and internationally.

“JourneyPure is honored to join forces with The Center for Professional Excellence, which is well known for its outstanding reputation, innovative approach and effectiveness in serving professionals,” stated JourneyPure CEO and co-founder Kevin Lee. “JourneyPure offers treatment services to professionals from a wide range of industries, many of whom suffer from co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders. The experts at CPE will provide a wealth of knowledge to enhance and expand JourneyPure’s services to the professional community.”

Chip Dodd, PhD, founded CPE in 1996 to help impaired professionals recover their lives, their passions and their integrity from the grip of addiction, anxiety, depression and other compulsive behaviors. By deeply integrating the wisdom of the Spiritual Root System™, traditional 12-step work and intense individual, group, family, experiential and educational therapies, patients receive an individualized treatment approach that promotes emotional, relational and spiritual health. A nationally recognized teacher, trainer, author and counselor, Dr. Dodd has dedicated his career to helping individuals recover and lead healthy lives.

“Professionals are notable for their intellect, will power and standards that have benefitted us all. However, when they run into problems like addiction that require an emotional and relational solution, their success skills don’t and won’t heal their problem,” stated Dr. Dodd. “Our expertise is in returning the professionals to the heart of who they really are. We desire to help them live fully, love deeply and lead well the lives they had anticipated before addiction and other problems began to steal their health.”

JourneyPure has rapidly expanded since its formation in 2015 and currently serves patients from across the nation through six inpatient facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida, as well as numerous sober living homes and outpatient clinics.

Addiction Treatment Leader JourneyPure Reduces Relapse with JourneyPure Coaching Program, Adds News Gamification Features to App

JourneyPure, a pioneer in addiction treatment services, announced today that its proprietary JourneyPure Coaching ™ program and technology are promoting higher patient engagement and lower relapse rates compared to industry averages. Through a combination of inpatient facilities, outpatient facilities and proprietary coaching services, JourneyPure delivers a full continuum of integrated, high quality services to assist each patient in becoming and staying healthy.

“JourneyPure Coaching is an innovative, technology-driven program designed to help patients maintain long-term recovery after treatment,” stated JourneyPure CEO and co-founder Kevin Lee. “The program includes services of a designated JourneyPure coach, who is a trained peer support specialist, and an industry-leading app, which JourneyPure provides to patients for one year after treatment at no additional cost. By engaging patients post-treatment, JourneyPure is able to provide support at the earliest signals of relapse, improving clinical outcomes.”

JourneyPure’s recent results show that 94% of patients who were introduced to JourneyPure Coaching during treatment continued to stay connected with JourneyPure, and more than 50% had no indication of substance abuse. JourneyPure’s results compare quite favorably to industry studies indicating that approximately 80% of individuals who receive addiction treatment relapse within a year.

“The JourneyPure Coaching system has been effective in engaging and preventing relapse in our patients, most of whom suffer from co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders,” stated Lee. “JourneyPure’s unique clinical programming and coaching technologies are true differentiators in helping patients to stay healthy and maintain their long-term recovery.”

The innovative JourneyPure Coaching app is introduced during treatment as part of the patient’s daily treatment plan. Each JourneyPure coach monitors assigned patients through the app, helping ensure adherence to the recovery plan post-treatment. The JourneyPure Coaching app includes many valuable features, such as private, HIPAA-compliant real-time messaging between the patient and designated coach, as well as a daily recovery log, nutritional guidance and collaborative care management with local healthcare providers.

“We are adding gamification features to the JourneyPure Coaching app through a rewards system that motivates an individual to want to use JourneyPure Coaching every day. The rewards include electronic tokens such as retail discounts and sweepstakes wins,” added Lee.

As a leading provider in the field of addiction treatment, the experts at JourneyPure are well aware of the challenges individuals face in maintaining sobriety. “Upon leaving a facility after addiction treatment, patients can feel a sense of isolation due to the loss of the therapeutic community they experienced while on-site. Research shows this scenario can lead patients to relapse,” stated Dr. Sam MacMaster, addiction industry pioneer and co-founder, executive vice president and chief clinical officer of JourneyPure. “The JourneyPure Coaching program gives patients the ongoing assistance they need through 24/7 access to recovery support.”

JourneyPure has been rapidly expanding its footprint in regional markets and currently serves patients from across the nation through six inpatient facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida, as well as numerous sober living homes and outpatient clinics.
