Aware Recovery Care vs Boulder Care

They differ on 5 of 10 things we check. No winner here: the better one is the one that fits what you need and how you'd pay.

Aware Recovery Care

You check your insurance by state, then a team of a clinician, nurse, recovery coach and care coordinator works with you and your family at home over about a year, with medication for addiction where appropriate.

Boulder Care

You download the Boulder Care app, check eligibility, and meet a clinician by video who can prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone and others) or naltrexone, with a peer recovery specialist and care team you can message.

The same for both: kind of help (a therapist), probably not for (anyone in crisis or overdose: call 911, or call or text 988), how you pay (insurance), sells your data (no), hipaa (yes).

In crisis or thinking about suicide? In the US, call or text 988. This page is information from our reviews, not medical advice.
