Pear Therapeutics, Inc. announced the expansion of its collaboration with Spero Health, an integrated healthcare services organization specializing in local and affordable outpatient care for individuals suffering from substance use disorders, to provide adults suffering from substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) access to reSET® and reSET-O®, for each respective condition. Spero Health, which has implemented reSET and reSET-O at 14 locations in Kentucky, intends to expand access to eligible patients at its 99 locations throughout Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia. The expansion is part of Spero Health's commitment to increase patient engagement and retention in recovery by offering FDA-authorized innovative treatment options.

As one of the nation's largest office-based outpatient opioid treatment providers, Spero Health has helped more than 35,000 patients on their journey to stable recovery. Spero Health strives to meet people where they are by offering a community-based approach to treatment utilizing an evidence-based integrated care model that combines both physical and behavioral healthcare services under one roof. Prescription digital therapeutics are an innovative class of treatments that use software to treat serious disease.

Like traditional medicines, these products are evaluated and authorized by regulators like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used under the supervision of a prescribing clinician. Unlike traditional medicines, they are designed to collect real world data that may be used by clinicians to inform treatment and by payors and health systems for population health management. The two products being implemented by Spero Health, reSET and reSET-O, have previously been measured in real-world use and their therapeutic content studied in randomized controlled trials, with results published in peer-reviewed medical journals.3,4 Most recently, Pear released publications showing the potential for improved real-world health outcomes and decreased treatment costs for patients using reSET and reSET-O.5-17 reSET is used as a monotherapy for patients 18 years of age or older with substance use disorder and reSET-O is used in combination with buprenorphine-based medication- assisted treatment for patients 18 years of age or older with opioid use disorder.

Clinicians receive access to clinical dashboards to inform visits with patients.
