CourMed, which provides health and wellness services to high-net worth individuals in their homes or offices, has expanded in the last several years with new offerings. Notable among the new services are an addiction treatment and recovery program, which caters to a population often overlooked when alcohol and drug abuse is discussed.
“Substance abuse is very high for high net-worth individuals,” said Derrick Miles, who founded and runs the company, which went live in 2018 as a prescription delivery company, but whose menu of services has greatly expanded. “For some reason,” he said, “People think that once you solve the money game, all your problems go away.” Nothing, he noted, could be further from the truth.
Stress is very high for those at the top, which can be a lonely place and where tough decision making can take a deep toll, Miles said. In an article written for Crain Currency, Miles notes that fear of public exposure and possible damage to reputation keeps many affluent individuals from seeking help through the usual channels.
