Recovery for Profit
Ben Culler on the Addiction Treatment Industry, Patient-Centered Care & Emerging Drug Threats
Recover Clarity founder Ben Culler joined Pej Alaghamandan on Primary Purpose with Pej for a wide-ranging discussion about the addiction treatment industry, patient-centered care, emerging substances and what happens when the business of treatment begins competing with the purpose of treatment.
Rather than focusing on one drug or one treatment approach, the conversation examines larger questions about how addiction treatment is delivered and what successful recovery should ultimately look like.
When Treatment Becomes a Business
A major theme of Recovery for Profit is the tension between operating a sustainable healthcare organization and making sure financial incentives do not begin driving treatment decisions.
Ben discusses concerns including high-volume treatment models, limited continuity between patients and providers, rigid scheduling and treatment that can become focused more on maintaining enrollment than helping patients continue progressing in recovery.
These experiences helped shape Recover Clarity's emphasis on patient-centered addiction treatment.
What Should Successful Treatment Look Like?
The conversation also explores what addiction treatment should ultimately accomplish.
For some patients, long-term medication treatment may be appropriate. Others eventually hope to taper medication and complete treatment. Recover Clarity believes those goals should be individualized rather than dictated by a single treatment philosophy.
Recovery involves more than another appointment or prescription. Stability, education, psychological support, behavioral change and long-term recovery skills matter as well.
7-OH, Kratom & Emerging Substances
The episode also examines 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), concentrated kratom products, MGM-15, MGM-16 and other emerging opioid-active substances.
These products illustrate another challenge facing modern addiction treatment: substances and consumer products can evolve faster than treatment systems, public awareness and regulation.
Ben discusses some of the individuals now seeking help after developing dependence on products they may have legally purchased without initially understanding their addictive potential.
The Bigger Conversation
Although emerging substances are an important part of the episode, Recovery for Profit ultimately asks a broader question:
How do we build addiction treatment around what actually helps the person receiving it?
For Recover Clarity, that means continuing to question traditional approaches, reducing unnecessary treatment barriers and measuring success by improvements in recovery, stability and quality of life.
Featured Documentary
Recover Clarity Featured in NEON PHARMACY: How Kratom Quietly Took Over America
Recover Clarity also contributes an addiction-treatment perspective to the short documentary NEON PHARMACY: How Kratom Quietly Took Over America.
The documentary examines the growing visibility of kratom and kratom-related products in the United States and a marketplace that has expanded well beyond traditional kratom leaf.
Today, the word “kratom” may be used in connection with traditional plant material, extracts, concentrates and newer formulations containing significantly different concentrations of active compounds. Understanding those differences has become increasingly important for consumers, families and treatment professionals.
Someone using traditional kratom leaf may have a very different pattern of use, degree of physical dependence and treatment need than someone regularly consuming a highly concentrated 7-OH product.
Recover Clarity's work with kratom addiction and treatment emphasizes identifying the actual products being used, frequency and amount of use, withdrawal symptoms, previous attempts to stop and each person's individual circumstances before determining appropriate next steps.
The documentary also raises a broader public-health challenge:
New substances and formulations can enter the marketplace faster than public understanding, research, treatment systems and regulation can respond.
That issue has continued with compounds such as MGM-15 and other emerging opioid-active substances.

Recover Clarity continues to follow these developments as part of its broader effort to provide timely education about substances that may begin appearing in addiction-treatment settings.
The goal is not to treat every person or every substance identically. Effective addiction treatment requires understanding what someone is using, how that use developed and what combination of medical, psychological and recovery support is appropriate for that individual.
Independently Selected by Addiction Resource
Recover Clarity was independently selected by Addiction Resource for inclusion in its 2026 guides to leading online Suboxone treatment options in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
These are not ranked lists. Addiction Resource states that its editorial team selects providers through independent research using criteria that include patient reviews, insurance acceptance, quality of clinical care and the provider's ability to serve people seeking treatment.
Being selected in both states is meaningful to Recover Clarity because Pennsylvania and West Virginia are the two communities the practice was specifically built to serve.
Pennsylvania: Recognized Among Top Online Suboxone Treatment Options
Addiction Resource selected Recover Clarity for its 2026 guide to online Suboxone providers serving Pennsylvania.
In its profile of Recover Clarity, the publication highlights the practice's focus on Pennsylvania and West Virginia, its Patient-Centered Scheduling model, treatment accessibility and additional behavioral-health and educational resources available to patients.
The feature also draws attention to Recover Clarity's effort to address missed appointments and treatment interruptions — an issue that can have particularly serious consequences for individuals receiving Medication for Opioid Use Disorder.
Recover Clarity provides opioid addiction treatment throughout Pennsylvania, including telehealth access for eligible patients across the state.
West Virginia: Selected Among Leading Online Suboxone Providers
Addiction Resource also independently selected Recover Clarity for its 2026 guide to online Suboxone providers serving West Virginia.
The West Virginia feature highlights Recover Clarity's combination of telehealth and in-person care, continuity with the same clinician throughout treatment, Patient-Centered Scheduling, additional therapy resources and support for both long-term medication maintenance and patients who eventually wish to pursue a structured taper.
The recognition is especially meaningful given Recover Clarity's focus on serving communities throughout West Virginia and the broader Appalachian region, where access to consistent addiction treatment can be affected by geography, transportation and provider availability.
Recover Clarity provides opioid addiction treatment throughout West Virginia, including telehealth care for eligible patients statewide and in-person treatment options.
Addiction, Behavioral Health & Media Topics
Recover Clarity participates in media and educational conversations because addiction treatment exists within a rapidly changing healthcare, social and regulatory environment.
Changes involving substances, treatment access, telehealth, healthcare policy and public understanding can directly affect the individuals and families seeking help.
Current areas of particular interest include:
7-OH, Kratom & Emerging Substances
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), concentrated kratom products, MGM-15, MGM-16 and other emerging opioid-active substances; physical dependence and withdrawal; changing product formulations; treatment considerations; and the differences between traditional kratom and newer concentrated products.
Opioid Use Disorder & Medication Treatment
Opioid use disorder, buprenorphine, Suboxone, Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), treatment engagement, stabilization, recovery planning and continuity of care.
Patient-Centered Addiction Treatment
How scheduling, communication, continuity of care and unnecessary treatment barriers can influence whether patients remain engaged in treatment.
Recover Clarity places particular emphasis on a treatment model that recognizes patients may also be balancing employment, transportation, childcare, family responsibilities and other demands while working toward recovery.
Telehealth & Treatment Accessibility
How telehealth can reduce geographic, transportation and scheduling barriers, particularly for individuals living in rural communities or areas with limited access to addiction-treatment providers.
Addiction Psychology & Recovery
Triggers, cravings, behavior change, relapse prevention, psychoeducation, treatment motivation and the psychological processes involved in substance dependence and long-term recovery.
Addiction Treatment in Appalachia
Substance-use trends, rural healthcare access, treatment availability and recovery challenges affecting communities throughout Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the broader Appalachian region.
Addiction Education & Emerging Substance Resources
Media appearances are only one part of Recover Clarity’s broader educational work.
Recover Clarity develops practical, easy-to-understand resources for people experiencing addiction, loved ones, behavioral-health professionals, healthcare providers, first responders and others seeking reliable information about substance use, treatment and recovery.
Education Built Around Real Treatment Questions
Many of the topics covered by Recover Clarity come directly from questions patients, families and professionals are asking in real-world treatment settings.
Educational resources currently address:
Opioid use disorder and Medication for Opioid Use Disorder
Buprenorphine and Suboxone treatment
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)
Kratom dependence and withdrawal
MGM-15, MGM-16 and emerging opioid-active substances
Treatment options and stabilization
Triggers, cravings and relapse prevention
Tapering and successful treatment completion
Treatment engagement and recovery planning
Following Emerging Substance Trends
One area of particular focus is the rapid development of new products and compounds that may appear in stores and online before consumers, treatment providers and regulators fully understand their risks.
Recover Clarity continues to follow developments involving concentrated 7-OH products, MGM-15, MGM-16 and other emerging substances while translating new information into practical education for patients and professionals.
The goal is not simply to report that a new substance exists. It is to help people understand what it may mean for dependence, withdrawal, treatment and recovery.
Resources for Patients, Families & Professionals
Recover Clarity’s educational content is designed for multiple audiences because the same information may need to be understood differently by someone experiencing dependence, a concerned family member or a healthcare professional trying to help.
Resources are written to make complex addiction and treatment topics easier to understand without losing the clinical context behind them.
