The opioid crisis is worst where there's no treatment. We use data to find those places, then go there.
In "treatment deserts" — counties with high overdose deaths and almost no care — we use data to find the greatest need, deliver treatment on the ground with a clinic and a mobile unit, and connect with the patients who need it most. It is a profitable, scalable business: grants fund the build, Medicaid and Medicare fund the care, and strong outcomes win the next site.
How the business works
A self-funding loop. Our data finds the counties with the greatest need and least access. Grants cover the build and the riskiest early costs. A lean team opens a clinic plus a mobile unit and finds the patients who need care. We treat opioid use disorder with medication, then add behavioral health that improves care and roughly doubles revenue per patient — paid by Medicaid and Medicare. Strong outcomes win the next grant and the next site.
We already own the hardest, slowest piece: a licensed Illinois treatment provider (Two Dreams), led by Dr. Andrea Barthwell (former Deputy Director of the White House drug-policy office and a past ASAM president). The existing license lets in-clinic and telehealth buprenorphine treatment start billing within weeks; Illinois funds mobile units; and behavioral health makes the numbers work with a small team.
