Louisiana is already recovering with Sober Sidekick.
Our presentation to the Louisiana Department of Health on what peer recovery support is already doing in the state, and what it could do next. Five minutes.
Our impact in Louisiana today
Nobody paid us to be here. Louisiana found us.
Four thousand people across Louisiana are using Sober Sidekick right now, in urban centers and rural parishes, with no marketing spend in the state and no clinical infrastructure attached to them. They found us because they needed something and had nowhere else to go.
Active Louisiana members
663% growth over the last 12 months, acquired entirely organically.
Peer support engagements
Between Louisiana members, in the hours when nothing else is open.
Virtual meetings attended
AA and NA meetings joined from a phone, from every corner of the state.
Came back after a relapse
Members who reported a setback and returned to the community anyway.
What prevention is already worth
Every active member is scored continuously against behavioral and social signals, which means we can reach someone before a crisis rather than after a claim.
estimated relapse episodes avoided among engaged Louisiana members over the last 12 months
in avoided relapse cost across those same members
Louisiana platform data, trailing 12 months. Avoided cost applies the Charm Economics Prevention to ROI model, certified by the Validation Institute, to the engaged Louisiana cohort.
Where we go next, together
We are ready to scale the impact we have already started.
With the right partners in Louisiana, we can expand recovery access statewide, connect more Louisianans to timely clinical care, and build a more coordinated support system for long-term success.
Scale membership
Grow the state’s recovery community from 4,000 members to tens of thousands more over the next 12 months, across urban centers and rural parishes alike.
Launch Recovery Care
Give every Louisianan already on the platform access to our licensed clinician team for relapse-prevention counseling, recovery planning, and follow-up after every event.
Keep support continuous
Coordinate with Louisiana’s existing providers and care ecosystem so the member experience is one relationship instead of a referral and a hope.
Building the largest wave of real-life comeback stories the world has ever seen.
