aftercare, for treatment centers
the first 90 days, held.
discharge is where recovery is most fragile: missed follow-ups, relapse, readmission. embr carries your clinical work into that window as a white-label companion on the patient’s phone, with the skills from your program, daily check-ins, and 988 one tap away.
what the patient sees
- 1
the night of discharge
the same voice they heard in group is already on their phone. no new app to learn, no new login to find.
- 2
week one
a check-in each day they open it. a skill when a craving or a spiral shows up at 2am, rendered in the chat.
- 3
week four
the thought records and grounding they practiced in treatment, kept warm. 988 one tap away the whole time.
- 4
day ninety
still there. still theirs. the conversation never asked them to perform recovery for anyone.
what the center gets
a touchpoint you do not staff
between-session contact that runs without a clinician click, white-labeled to your name and grounded in your knowledge base.
measures that keep arriving
PHQ-9 and GAD-7 captured inside a conversation the patient is already having, exportable for your reporting.
alumni you can still reach
the people you already helped stay connected to you, not to a third-party app. the least expensive group to reach, and the ones who know what you do.
live in days
24 to 48 hours from sign-off: your branding, your clinical knowledge base, a 30-day pilot at no cost.
the honest questions
- why does the first 90 days after discharge matter so much?
- Because risk is concentrated there. Suicide rates after discharge from psychiatric care peak in the first three months (Chung et al., JAMA Psychiatry, 2017). An aftercare companion is built to keep a warm, structured touchpoint alive through that window, alongside the follow-up your clinicians already do.
- what is an aftercare app for a treatment center?
- A patient-facing companion your program hands to people at discharge, carrying the skills they learned in treatment onto their phone. embr is one: white-labeled to your center, grounded in your clinical knowledge base, with coping tools, daily check-ins, measurement-based care and 988 built in.
- how is this different from an alumni engagement app?
- Most alumni apps are a feed and a calendar. embr is a conversation that teaches: the same CBT, DBT, ACT and MI skills from your curriculum, rehearsed in the moment someone needs them. Alumni engagement is a result of that, not the product.
- does it add work for our clinicians?
- No. embr runs alongside your stack with no new data entry. Measures are captured in-app and exported; crisis events route to 988 and to the protocols you configure.
