DynamiCare Health

A smartphone recovery program for alcohol, drug and nicotine use: remote breath and saliva tests, cash rewards for negative tests, and a recovery coach.

You use the DynamiCare app to take breath or saliva tests on video when prompted and earn money on a debit card for negative tests, while meeting weekly with a recovery coach. You start with a short survey and a call with the enrollment team. Self-pay programs start at $20 per week, and some insurance plans cover it.
