The smarter way to overcome substance abuse.
Substance use disorder is complex.
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a medical condition characterized by the compulsive use of a substance despite harmful consequences, reflecting an inability to control or stop its use. Signs of substance use disorder may encompass increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, neglect of responsibilities, unsuccessful attempts to quit, and persistent use despite adverse effects on physical, mental, and social well-being. The Relay program provides a strong support system of peers and digital tools to break free of substance addiction, leading 79% of users to see significant improvement in the first month alone.
The root cause of substance use disorder often lies in isolation. Feelings of loneliness, disconnection, or emotional emptiness can drive us to seek comfort in the temporary high of substance use. The Relay program address this isolation by matching you into a tight-knit small group of peers in recovery — people who understand your struggle, who won't judge, and who can help you stay strong in moments of temptation. You can stay anonymous, but still access the power of peer connection 24/7!
Substance use disorder can have a range of negative effects, including physical health deterioration, strained relationships, financial hardships, legal consequences, and impaired occupational and academic functioning. The Relay program is built to help you break free from this downward spiral!
If you’re struggling and feel like you’ve already tried everything, it’s easy to feel hopeless. But the right kind of help can make all the difference. Many people find that traditional approaches only scratch the surface, leaving deeper issues unaddressed. To truly break free, it’s crucial to understand the underlying reasons you’re still stuck—reasons that may not be immediately obvious. Getting the right help means finding a program that doesn’t just focus on stopping the behavior but also digs into the root causes of your struggle. This deeper understanding is key to lasting change. At Relay, we provide a supportive community and therapy-like tracks designed to uncover these hidden factors, helping you finally break the cycle and regain control of your life.
Make lasting change with real connection.
Far too often, shame and stigma around substance abuse prevent us from getting quality help. Relay was built to make it easier to find others in the same boat — so you can stop struggling alone.
Relay guides you through personalized reflections that delve into the urges and emotional factors contributing to your addiction, helping you understand and respond to triggers.
Relay helps you easily record and share your progress, challenges, and experiences. Our analytics can then pinpoint patterns and trends, helping you prevent relapses long before they occur.

A more holistic way to overcome substance abuse
How it works
We’ll start by asking some questions to help you build your Recovery Zone — a personalized plan designed to help you both prevent relapse and move towards deeper healing.
After getting to know your situation, we’ll match you with a specific group of 5-10 people working towards a similar goal. You can remain anonymous if you’d like!
Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, you’ll begin to work through content designed to help you do the heart-work necessary for lasting change.
