Are you worried about your child's alcohol or drug use?
You are here because you think your child may be involved in behaviors that indicate substance use, or a path toward addiction. If you are asking yourself these questions, there is a reason why. Listen to your instincts.
Has your child experienced any of the following?
Vaping or smoking
Decline in school performance
Loss of interest in sports or extracurricular activities
New disciplinary problems at school
Run-ins with law enforcement
Depression or mental health problems
Increased aggression or arguments at home
A change in their friend circle
Friends who have these issues
These are some of the common signs that a young person may be involved in, or on the path to, substance experimentation or use. With DynamiCare, there is a non-intrusive, non-judgmental, incentive-based way to get your teen back on track. They get to set the goals, are held accountable for meeting them, and are then rewarded for doing so. You, the parent, have insight into these goals and progress so you can hold your teen accountable and monitor their progress.
Best of all, DynamiCare is an easy-to-use app that your child can integrate into their daily lives right on their smartphone. There is no need to go to time-consuming counseling appointments or enroll your child in a rehab facility. Online coaching, support, monitoring, and success are all available to your family via the DynamiCare app.
As a parent, your life is deeply impacted by your child’s substance use. Imagine what it would feel like to have an impact on their recovery?
Through DynamiCare’s digital health program, you will have access to live experts and evidence-based training materials for supporting a loved one who struggles with addiction. Our goal is to support you and your child, help you rebuild trust, and help you begin to live a life free from addiction through a highly effective yet underused behavioral-change method called contingency management.
Contingency management (CM) uses the power of incentives for recovery and is the foundation of DynamiCare’s motivation-based approach.
CM is one of the most effective and evidence-based psychosocial treatments for substance use disorders. In over 100 randomized controlled trials and 7 meta-analyses, CM significantly enhanced outcomes.
DynamiCare uses a fully automated, convenient platform that includes random substance tests, GPS tracking, and motivational incentives.
Our tools and services are centered around contingency management, one of the most effective and evidence-based behavioral-change methods for substance use disorders, and community reinforcement and family training (CRAFT), which teaches non-confrontational approaches for encouraging your loved one to address their addiction. Just 4 simple steps are all it takes to get started:
Step 1: Consultation
We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation with a professional trained in addiction resource navigation to determine if DynamiCare is the right solution for your family.
Step 2: Coaching
We provide you with your own supportive coach to learn strategies and evidence-based practices to guide you through not only care for your loved one but self-care, too. Meet with your coach virtually and get ongoing support through phone, video, and text.
Step 3: Education
You'll have access to a web-based, self-guided video course that teaches motivation building, contingency management training, communication skills, life enrichment, and safety training.
Step 4: Peace of Mind
In our Supporter Portal, you can see the progress your loved one is making in the DynamiCare program. Depending on what the participant is willing to share, you can see their overall level of engagement or even the latest substance testing results.
DynamiCare collaborates with leading academic institutions, such as Johns Hopkins, to conduct clinical studies on DynamiCare, which have demonstrated a 2-3x increase in quit rates across drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
DynamiCare builds on the existing research behind contingency management (CM), or motivational incentives, which promotes accountability and motivation through the use of positive reinforcement. It has been recommended by the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Surgeon General, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. It has also been validated in over 100 randomized controlled trials.
