DynamiCare Rewards

Phone-based recovery program for substance use: remote breath and saliva tests, verified by selfie video, earn cash rewards, with a recovery coach.

You take breath or saliva tests on camera through the DynamiCare app, and negative tests and attended appointments earn money on a debit card that blocks spending at bars and liquor stores. A recovery coach checks in with you, and the app has recovery lessons. Some insurers, employers and treatment programs pay for it; self-pay starts at $20 a week.
