Saving lives by transforming how America talks about, thinks about, understands, and treats addiction.
THARI is the management, education, and research organization behind the Tree House Recovery treatment model. Treatment centers deliver care. THARI develops the model, trains the people who deliver it, studies how it is implemented, and builds the systems that sustain it.
Our ambition is national: connect what we learn in treatment with the science, technology, and systems that can improve care over time.
Four commitments, one mission.
· Understand
We aim to study addiction inside treatment settings, so that what happens in care becomes knowledge that improves the next round of care.
· Treat
We develop and refine treatment models, data-informed protocols, and longitudinal support, and we are working toward payment models that reward successful care.
· Prepare
We train the practitioners, supervisors, and leaders who deliver the Tree House model, and we observe and measure how it is delivered.
· Talk + think
We work to give families, clinicians, and policymakers clear language about addiction, and a clearer account of what better care can look like.
Connection that continues after treatment.
TRIBE is THARI's mobile app for the Tree House recovery community, built to keep people connected and engaged beyond a single episode of care.
Projects advancing the work.
Each project carries a status, so it's clear what is an ambition, what is in development, and what is a result.
A treatment setting being designed so that care, measurement, and research operate together, with the goal of helping make North Carolina a national leader in effective substance use disorder treatment.
THARI is working with Oura Ring to explore whether wearable biometric signals can reveal rising relapse risk before a return to substance use. This work is exploratory and does not yet establish a validated method for predicting relapse.
[TBD: study stage, and Oura's approval to be named]
THARI aims to help develop payment models that reward successful care, and invites payer, policy, and provider collaboration.
Work with us.
We welcome conversations with researchers, policymakers, payers, treatment leaders, and prospective advisers.
