Digital treatment for opioid use disorder. Talking telehealth with Boulder Care CEO, Stephanie Papes.

56m · Published 14 Apr 11:00

Boulder Care, a digital clinic offering long-term support and treatment for opioid use disorder, is breaking down barriers for people suffering from an opioid use disorder. Did you know 40% of counties in the USA don't have a doctor who can prescribe buprenorphine? Patients in rural areas sometime have to drive hours just to see a doctor to get a prescription. Wouldn't it make sense if patients could access a doctor virtually in the comfort of their home?

We talk with Stephanie Papes, Founder and CEO of Boulder Care, about the work they are doing that is transforming the ways people with an OUD can access treatment. Stephanie and her team are on a mission to help patients succeed on their  own terms.
