The following MAP spokespeople below are available for interviews and can speak about rates of admission, length of treatment required, types of treatment found most effective, and demographics most likely to relapse.

*Jacob Levenson, Chief Executive Officer: Under Jacob's leadership, MAP is pioneering data-driven strategies in all 50 states, providing telehealth services and tracking the progress of thousands of addicts in recovery nationwide following in-patient treatment. The results are powerful, giving those struggling with addiction comprehensive treatment throughout the critical first year of their recovery and providing valuable outcomes data to vastly improve treatment. In 2015, Jacob launched the MAP Recovery Network, which is comprised of addiction treatment providers who are dedicated to using telehealth and outcomes data to drive addiction treatment. The network gives those seeking treatment the ability to make informed decisions based upon the success rates of recovery programs and health insurers the ability to reimburse the most effective treatment providers.
