The+S.C.+Department+of+Corrections (SCDC) today announced a plan with Pear+Therapeutics%2C+Inc. (Nasdaq: PEAR), the leader in developing and commercializing software-based medicines called prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs), to offer FDA-authorized PDTs to support women inmates in recovery from opioid and other substance use disorders. This first of its kind collaboration in a correctional setting supports SCDC’s commitment to leverage innovative treatment options to provide care for individuals seeking recovery. Eligible patients at the Camille Griffin Graham Correctional Institution will be prescribed and treated with reSET or reSET-O to help the facility expand access to addiction services. This project is funded by the+S.C.+Department+of+Alcohol+and+Other+Drug+Abuse+Services.
