What if we treated mental and behavioral healthcare with the same precision we expect from cancer care?

With CETA that’s possible.

We work with countries, states, payers, and health delivery systems to put a more effective model of care into practice—combining evidence-based treatment, a supported workforce, and technology that guides care delivery and measures progress at scale. The result? More people getting better and more from every dollar.

THE REALITY TODAY

One person.
Many problems.
A fragmented system.

People rarely fit into a single diagnosis. Yet our systems today treat mental health as a series of separate problems, with different providers, waitlists, and disconnected care.

This is costly, inefficient, and burns our providers out.

Inspired by cancer care. Built for behavioral health.

What if we could generate a clear, personalized care pathway for each patient—with treatment delivered by one person, guided by evidence, measured along the way, and adapted as needs change.

How much money could we save on care if we streamlined workflows and used technology where it counts? And what would it take to make that standard practice across an entire care system?

That is what CETA puts into practice.

Twenty years of evidence.
Eight clinical trials.
Globally implemented.

03 / 03

With better economics.

~73%

Estimated cost savings.

When CETA is implemented as a complete system of care—not simply a treatment or training program.
Better use of existing behavioral health resources.

Compared with the cost of training, supervising, and maintaining multiple separate evidence-based practices (EBPs) within a single site. care setting, and implementation.

It’s that simple.

INTRODUCING

A scientific approach
and a new possibility.

Transforming how care is delivered.

CETA redesigns and streamlines how people move through behavioral healthcare—from their first assessment through treatment and progress toward recovery. We work with your organization to connect care workflows, equip providers to address multiple needs together, and embed the technology that sustains the change.

The result more effective and cost-efficient care at scale.

01

Redesigned care delivery

Assessment, referrals, treatment, and supervision are redesigned around an integrated approach, reducing fragmentation and duplicated work.

02

A capable expanded workforce

Paraprofessionals, licensed providers and supervisors are trained, supported, and certified to deliver the CETA model, building lasting capability within the system.

03

Infrastructure that sustains savings

Digital guidance, clinical care pathways, supervision tools, and outcomes measurement sustain the new model while helping reduce ongoing operating costs.

HOW WE DID IT

We broke down the barriers that hold better care back.

THE BARRIERS

01 Disconnected assessments
THE CETA SOLUTION

Disconnected, often paper-based assessments

One complete picture.

CETA's digital multi-problem assessment brings screening, triage, and progress measurement into one connected system. Providers gain a fuller picture of patient needs without repeating assessments across separate programs.

The cost advantage: Less duplication reduces the potential for unnecessary assessment and administrative costs across a care network.

02 Siloed treatment models
THE CETA SOLUTION

Multiple siloed evidence-based practices

One multi-problem model.

The Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) enables one provider to address multiple co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions using a single evidence-based approach.

The cost advantage: Fewer separate treatment programs to fund, train, supervise, and maintain. This can substantially reduce the cost of sustaining evidence-based care across a network.

03 Complex clinical decisions
THE CETA SOLUTION

Complex decisions without systematic guidance

Adaptive care pathways.

CETA's Care Confidence software uses assessment and progress data to generate a unique treatment pathway and sequence for each patient. The software guides providers on how to personalize treatment, adjust care, and recognize when treatment goals have been met and a patient can be discharged. Clinical decisions remain with the provider.

The cost advantage: Guided treatment can avoid unnecessary sessions and reduce the cost of care per patient while maintaining a focus on outcomes.

04 Workforce shortages
THE CETA SOLUTION

Reliance on a limited licensed workforce

A broader care workforce.

The CETA System of Care can be delivered by appropriately trained and supervised lay providers as well as licensed clinicians. Care is matched to patient needs, reserving specialist capacity for more complex cases.

The cost advantage: A broader workforce can lower the cost of delivering appropriate care and extend access within existing budgets.

Because fragmented care costs us all.

When behavioral health systems fund separate models for different needs, complexity and cost accumulates across training, supervision, measurement, and implementation.

The CETA approach streamlines and transforms care end-to-end, from intake through discharge.

ⓘ About this comparison

This conceptual illustration compares separate treatment-specific operational structures with CETA's shared system of care. Dollar signs represent funding commitments, not proportional costs or estimated savings. CETA addresses multiple clinical needs within its scope; specialized services may still be required.
