REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 27, 2023--
As nurses struggle to cope with job-related stressors like understaffing and unsustainable workloads, data from Trusted Health reveals that nurses’ mental health has yet to rebound to anywhere near pre-COVID levels. Combine this fact with data from the American Nurses Association indicating that one in every five to seven registered nurses is affected by substance use disorder (SUD), it’s clear that nurses are in urgent need of support. Today, Lionrock, the inventor of online SUD treatment and recovery services in the United States, announced treatment programs dedicated to providing nursing professionals the confidential care they need.

Understanding that many nurses fear disciplinary action and the stigma attached to seeking SUD support, Lionrock provides nursing professionals an accessible way to get help from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Nurses understand this too, choosing Lionrock at a higher rate than their actual representation in the U.S. workforce. While nurses represent 2.5 percent of all employed people in the U.S., they represent 6 percent of Lionrock’s clients.
“At Lionrock, we understand the sensitive nature of getting help for SUD as a healthcare professional. In fact, 80 percent of Lionrock’s nurse clients come to us voluntarily, before their SUD becomes a crisis; they trust us to keep their care a private matter,” said Peter Loeb, CEO and Co-Founder of Lionrock.
Lionrock’s dedicated Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) and lower-intensity Online Outpatient Program (OP) tracks include an initial assessment, treatment planning, and group and individual therapy. Those attending treatment at Lionrock receive a complimentary year of access to the Lionrock.life subscription-based peer support groups with more than 60 community meetings per week including a nurses-only peer support group and other mental health-focused meetings. Lionrock’s secure telehealth platform, personalized treatment plans, and flexible schedules allow nursing professionals to fit the care they need into their busy lives.
