Northbound Recovery: Structured Support for Every Stage of Recovery

A recovery program built around real accountability connecting clients to counselors through a guided course, direct messaging.

The Challenge

Recovery depends on consistent guidance, accountability, and access to the right resources, but keeping clients engaged between counselor interactions can be difficult. Northbound Recovery needed a structured digital experience that could combine recovery courses, habit-building tools, progress tracking, and counselor support in one place making it easier for clients to stay on track while giving the care team a clearer way to manage and support each stage of recovery.

Structured Recovery Program

Clients progress through guided courses, lessons, reflections, and activities, creating a consistent path through the recovery journey. 

Video Care & Scheduling

Clients can schedule video sessions with their assigned counselors, making it easy to transition from asynchronous support to live care.

Progress & Response Tracking

Counselors can review course completion, client reflections, and engagement activity from a centralized dashboard, enabling more informed check-ins. 

Client–Counselor Messaging

Secure, real-time messaging keeps communication continuous between scheduled sessions and gives counselors better context for every interaction. 

Role-Based Dashboards

Dedicated experiences for clients, counselors, and administrators ensure each user sees the workflows and information relevant to their responsibilities.

Cross-Platform Access

The system provides a consistent experience across web, iOS, and Android, allowing clients and care teams to stay connected wherever they are.

Real-Time Communication

WebSocket-powered updates keep messages, notifications, and relevant activity synchronized without requiring users to constantly refresh the application. 

Administration & User Management

Admins can manage users, assign clients to counselors, oversee program activity, and maintain visibility across the platform. 

Outcome

Delivered a unified recovery platform across web, iOS, and Android that brings structured courses, habit building tools, progress tracking, and counselor support into one connected experience. The result is a more organized, responsive system that helps clients stay engaged while giving care teams better visibility and control throughout the recovery journey.
