Michael Nutter Collaborates with Loosid to Tackle Addiction
In a significant move to address the addiction crisis, Loosid, a pioneering lifestyle brand aimed at promoting sobriety, announces the addition of The Honorable Michael A. Nutter, a respected former mayor, to its advisory team. This collaboration is set to enhance Loosid's mission of fighting addiction through innovative technology and compassionate support.
The Role of SAM™ AI in Addiction Support
Mayor Nutter is poised to support the introduction of Loosid’s groundbreaking digital solution, SAM™ AI, to a wide array of employers, unions, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) across the nation. SAM™, designed as a Sobriety and Addiction Mentor, offers personalized guidance to individuals striving for sobriety, utilizing advanced artificial intelligence to analyze unique journeys and create predictive relapse models.
Compassionate Engagement in Recovery
“Addiction often carries a heavy stigma that prevents individuals from seeking the help they need,” shares MJ Gottlieb, the co-founder and CEO of Loosid. “SAM™ is designed to be a nonjudgmental and empathetic companion available around the clock.” With Mayor Nutter's involvement, Loosid aims to extend this vital service to those who require it the most, starting with the local community and broadening its reach nationwide.
A Commitment Towards Community Wellbeing
Reflecting on his new role, Mayor Nutter says, “It is a profound honor to serve as an Advisor to a company that tackles the major issues of addiction in America. Loosid has established the necessary technology and support systems that many individuals need to lead healthier lives.” This commitment aligns with Loosid’s proactive approach to transforming addiction support from reactive measures to anticipatory and preventative care, particularly within workplace environments.
Addressing the Economic Impact of Addiction
The toll of addiction on both individuals and the economy is staggering, with over $1.45 trillion lost annually due to substance use disorders, alongside more than 252 million workdays missed due to alcohol-related absenteeism. Mayor Nutter aims to shed light on these critical issues in his role as a spokesperson for Loosid, particularly regarding the devastating impact of substances like fentanyl across various communities.
“Cities like Philadelphia face daily challenges from the costs of addiction, significantly affecting productivity,” explains Mayor Nutter. “Having the opportunity to support individuals on their recovery journey is invaluable, and I see my partnership with Loosid as a meaningful way to contribute.”
