FAIRFIELD, NJ— Freedom 365 Virtual Recovery System™, based in Fairfield, NJ, has been recognized by Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards in the Apps category.  Fast Company’s annual World Changing Ideas Awards honor businesses, policies, projects and concepts that offer innovative solutions to the issues facing humanity.

Freedom 365 is a 24-hour recovery companion that provides 365 days of state-of-the-art addiction recovery and relapse-prevention support anywhere, anytime. Freedom 365 is available for use on smartphones, tablets, and desktops computers. It is both an alternative and a supplement to current short-term care that generally comes at a price of $30,000 to $100,000.

According to its creator, Brian McAlister, a nationally acclaimed recovery expert and No.1 best-selling author on addiction and recovery with 28 years of personal sobriety, “I created Freedom 365, the first-of-its-kind digital addiction recovery support tool, because current solutions are failing. We have 1 in 5 Americans (National Institute on Drug Abuse) who suffer from addiction, yet only 4% are receiving the help they need (National Council on Alcohol and Drug Addiction).”

Freedom 365 has the potential to impact multiple stakeholders:  employers, corrections institutions, veterans, healthcare providers, insurers/payers and universities. It expands access while providing cost-containment solutions and has become increasingly attractive to insurance, benefits and wellness brokers as they seek to focus on preventative care and wellness initiatives.
