The Meadows Launches Meadows Daily+ Across Meadows Outpatient Centers in Partnership with Bright Therapeutics
New digital companion expands patient support between therapy sessions while enhancing clinician insights across PHP and IOP programs.
WICKENBURG, Ariz., July 20, 2026 — The Meadows, a national behavioral healthcare leader in trauma and addiction treatment for more than 50 years, today announced the launch of Meadows Daily+, a new digital companion for patients and clinicians across Meadows Outpatient Centers. Developed in partnership with Bright Therapeutics, the platform is now being introduced to patients across all PHP and IOP programs following a successful multi-site pilot that demonstrated meaningful improvements in patient engagement, clinician experience, and continuity of care.
The 2025 pilot spanned five programs, 47 clinicians, and 340 patients, evaluating Bright’s ability to extend evidence-based care beyond the therapy session. Patients engaged consistently with the platform, completing group check-ins and spending an average of four minutes per app session in structured reflection and interaction with therapeutic content between visits.
Clinicians reported improved visibility into patient needs and a 30-point reduction in feelings of overwhelm, with 85% reporting enhanced job satisfaction.
The pilot also demonstrated significant improvements in continuity of care. Successful transitions between levels of care increased by 51%, supported by continuous connection and real-time patient data that enhanced clinical decision-making.
“These results reflect a broader shift in what is now possible, and what patients increasingly expect, in behavioral healthcare,” said Jenna Tregarthen, CEO of Bright Therapeutics. “Patients increasingly benefit from support that extends beyond the therapy session or static paper worksheets. The Meadows team has taken a leadership position in scaling a model that supports patients in real time, strengthens connection with clinicians, and makes it easier for patients to fully participate in their care.”
Patients reported increased accountability, improved self-reflection, and stronger connection to their care teams. Notably, 71% of patients shared that the app helped prevent a lapse at least once, underscoring the role of digital tools in responsive, real-time care delivery.
“We’re continually looking for ways to enhance the care experience for both our patients and clinicians. Meadows Daily+ is a natural extension of that commitment, combining the expertise of our clinicians with thoughtful innovation to help patients stay engaged in their recovery between sessions. By strengthening the connection between patients and their care teams, we’re creating a more responsive, personalized treatment experience that supports lasting recovery,” said Mark Baumgartner, VP of Outpatient Operations at The Meadows.
Beginning today, Meadows Daily+ will become part of the standard outpatient experience across Meadows Outpatient Centers. Patients will use the app to complete check-ins before group sessions, reflect on their recovery between appointments, practice therapeutic skills, access recovery resources, and stay connected to their treatment goals. Clinicians will use these insights to better personalize care and strengthen patient engagement throughout treatment.
The launch of Meadows Daily+ reflects The Meadows’ ongoing commitment to combining evidence-based treatment, expert clinicians, and thoughtful innovation to improve patient experience and strengthen outcomes across the continuum of care.
