As we expand, we\u2019re excited to strengthen our partnerships with behavioral health facilities nationwide as we work to provide a flexible solution for behavioral health staffing shortages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A growing crisis: behavioral health staffing shortages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States is facing a mental health crisis. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/data\/sites\/default\/files\/reports\/rpt42731\/2022-nsduh-nnr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">survey<\/a> from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, \u201cAmong adults aged 18 or older in 2022, 23.1 percent (or 59.3 million people) had AMI [any mental illness] in the past year.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, \u201c19.4 percent of people aged 12 or older in 2022 (or 54.6 million people) needed substance use treatment in the past year, but of that population, \u201cabout 1 in 4 (24.0 percent or 13.1 million people) received substance use treatment in the past year.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health and substance abuse care have many barriers to entry, but one of the biggest is a lack of access to care and a growing shortage of behavioral health professionals. Behavioral health is facing a growing epidemic of staffing shortages that are getting worse as time goes on. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bhw.hrsa.gov\/data-research\/projecting-health-workforce-supply-demand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bureau of Health Workforce<\/a>, by 2037, there will be a combined shortage of over 400,000 behavioral health professionals across the top mental health positions based on the growing demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These shortages not only prevent patients from getting care, but they\u2019re also continuing to burn out behavioral healthcare workers, leaving more potential for future turnover. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalcouncil.org\/news\/help-wanted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The National Council for Mental Wellbeing<\/a>, \u201cNearly half (48%) of behavioral health workers say the impacts of workforce shortages have caused them to consider other employment options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medely works to challenge growing behavioral health staffing shortages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Medely works to tackle the increasing staffing shortages, we\u2019ve committed to being a hands-on partner with behavioral health facilities across the country. Medely supports flexibly-staffed facilities, allowing the best experience for those seeking care. One of these clients is Virtue Recovery Center in Arizona.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devon Williams, director of nursing at Virtue Recovery Center, wasn\u2019t new to Medely when she started at Virtue Recovery Center. \u201cI used Medely at a different facility, and it was so easy to use,\u201d Devon shared. \u201cI could offer shifts to my favorites before anyone else. Honestly, the nurses were higher quality as well.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she transitioned to her role at Virtue Recovery Center, they were trying out a local agency that wasn\u2019t providing Devon with the reliable, consistent coverage she needed to run her facility smoothly. After a few disappointing experiences, she chose to switch to Medely, a solution she trusted from past positive experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Virtue Recovery Center\u2019s partnership with Medely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Devon was immediately set up with senior account executive, <a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/employee-spotlight-taylor-kampa-senior-account-executive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taylor Kampa<\/a>, to help her work through any problems or concerns while setting up a new account with Medely through her current facility. Ensuring coverage is important for any facility, but for behavioral health facilities, there\u2019s an added urgency to filling staffing gaps. From the very beginning, Taylor was alongside Devon to ensure that she had all the information she needed. \u201cShe has been very responsive and gets back to me quickly,\u201d Devon shared. \u201cThat is so important to me. I don\u2019t have a lot of time to spare, so it really is helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the critical nature of getting shifts filled quickly, Taylor set Devon up for success by walking her through the entire onboarding process, including ensuring that the shifts could be targeted to pros with certain experience. \u201cWe helped them set up a strong job post template so pros know the kind of detox experience they&#8217;re walking into,\u201d Taylor shared. \u201cIt\u2019s helped a lot with setting expectations upfront.\u201d Ensuring pros have the right experience up front has helped Devon find quality nurses and health professionals who fit seamlessly into her facility. \u201cI have had core staff tell me that certain nurses were really good, and with other companies, I did not have them saying that often,\u201d Devon shared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a drug and alcohol rehab center, having continuity of care is crucial to the success of their patients. To allow for continuous care, Devon has utilized Medely\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/a-more-consistent-staffing-strategy-how-medelys-favorites-feature-allows-for-better-continuity-of-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Favorites Feature<\/a> to find standout nurses and health professionals who can integrate seamlessly with little direction. \u201cFor the most part, they have been great. Several, I wish I could hire full-time,\u201d Devon shared. \u201cWe love Winnie. She is wonderful, and I trust she will show if she picks up the shift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Outcomes with Medely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a strong list of trusted nurses and health professionals who use Medely, Devon has been able to utilize favorites about half the time, cutting down on extra time spent orienting nurses and health professionals. Thanks to the easy-to-use templates for posting, when she goes to post a shift, it takes her under a minute, which is critical for a busy DON who doesn\u2019t have a lot of extra time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like the quality of the nurses, [the platform] is user-friendly, and typically all shifts are picked up pretty quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, shifts at Virtue Recovery Center are filled within 13 minutes, and the facility has reached a 98% fill rate. The consistency and reliability Devon has found with Medely has alleviated some of the administrative burden she was facing and allowed her more control over her staffing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2-1024x535.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2-1024x535.png 1024w, https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2-350x183.png 350w, https:\/\/medely.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Virtue-Recovery-Center-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to find reliable coverage for your behavioral health facility?
