“ This is a new tool to augment SUD treatment with a focus on chronic disease management — leveraging technology in a novel and effective manner. I was very taken aback by the results Lucid Care has shown at both large Medi-Cal and exclusive private facilities ”

About Lucid Care
Patients in treatment for SUDs experience anxiety and cravings that prevent them from completing treatment, leading to increased AMAs and relapses.
Lucid Care offers a HIPAA compliant Virtual Reality platform that significantly reduces cravings and anxiety for clients in substance use treatment. Our platform teaches patients mindfulness meditation as coping and relapse prevention skills. We offer a behavior change tool that facilitates learning these techniques faster and in a much easier and interactive way through sensory and visually stunning experiences. We service both SUD and mental health programs.
Centers are able to track patient progress and outcome measures. Patients fill out self-assessments on a Lucid Care tablet before and after each VR session in order to assess chance in anxiety, cravings, and triggers. Clinicians receive weekly reports that they share with their patients as a motivational tool and to further personalize each patient’s individual treatment plan.
