About Recover

Recover is a Y Combinator-backed startup working to make addiction treatment for low-income people more effective and accessible. We work with governments to use telehealth and medicine to improve outcomes for people who need treatment. We are growing fast and need people to grow with us.

Over 46 million Americans struggle with addiction, and less than 10% receive treatment. For those that do, traditional treatment only works for ~8%. By integrating medical care, outcomes can be improved up to 10x, saving lives. We are working to make sure low-income Americans have access to best-in-class treatment.

Our team includes people from Yale Law, UCLA School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and White House alums. We are covering millions of people, growing quickly, and hiring to support our growth.
