The Cost of Doing Nothing

Substance Use Is One of the Costliest Risks You Can't See.

Substance use disorders rarely surface on a report until they've already cost you in absence, lost focus, turnover, and claims, and the support to address them is often available but going unused.

Why It Works

Willpower Isn't Enough. This Changes the Pattern Underneath.

Substance use is a learned loop: stress and emotion trigger a craving, using brings relief, and the cycle repeats. Avidon helps employees see the loop, interrupt it, and replace it with healthier responses that hold.

🧠

Targets the real trigger

Cognitive behavioral training gets underneath the substance use to the stress, emotions, and beliefs driving the craving, so employees change the pattern, not just the behavior.

🎯

Meets every employee where they are

Most of your workforce isn't ready to change today. The program engages people at every stage of change, including the majority who are only starting to consider it.

Common Questions

Substance Use Recovery Programs for Employers, Answered.

How much does a substance use recovery program cost per employee?

Avidon is priced as an enterprise-level platform at small-business rates. Business plans start at $35/month for the full wellness platform, not just substance use recovery, so you get every behavior-change topic in one subscription with no hidden implementation fees. See pricing.

How quickly can we launch it?

Minutes, not months. Avidon is a true SaaS platform: getting started is self-serve, so you sign up, configure, invite your team, and most organizations are live the same day, with no implementation calls.

Will employees actually use it?

Adoption is the most common worry, and it's what the methodology is built for. Most of your workforce isn't ready to act yet, so the program engages the roughly 80% in earlier stages of change, not just the ready few. Challenges Autopilot launches a fresh challenge every month automatically, and automated reminders keep members coming back, with no admin work. Engagement compounds, too: in a controlled study of 300 non-incentivized participants, pairing coaching with our technology more than doubled program completion, from 17% to 36%.

How do you measure results and ROI?

Reporting shows enrollment, participation, and progress so you can demonstrate results to leadership. Avidon's Substance Use Recovery program has supported nearly 5,000 people, and 92% would recommend it. You can explore the full efficacy & outcomes data here.

Is it confidential, and will managers see who enrolls?

Privacy is built in. Avidon is HIPAA compliant, and reporting is aggregated, so leadership sees participation and outcomes at the group level, not which individuals enrolled or what they engaged with. That confidentiality is especially important for a sensitive topic like substance use, and it's a big reason employees feel safe using it.

Is the program secure and compliant?

Yes. Avidon is HIPAA compliant and certified to ISO 27001 and GDPR standards, so employee health data is protected and your benefits and compliance teams have the documentation they need.

Is this a replacement for treatment, rehab, or our EAP?

No, and it isn't meant to be. Avidon builds the everyday skills that support recovery, recognizing triggers, interrupting cravings, and building healthier habits, and it complements clinical treatment and your EAP rather than replacing them. Employees who need clinical care or crisis support are always encouraged to seek it.

Does it work for remote and shift workers?

Yes. The program is fully digital and available on any device, with content in 14 languages. Remote staff, shift workers, and frontline employees get the same support without needing to be on site or online at a set time.

Give Employees a Private Path to Lasting Recovery.

Help your people break the cycle of substance use and build healthier habits, and take pressure off your plan and your EAP. Set it up in minutes.
