Our History
2012
Development on the Recovery Capital Index® began
Shortly after joining Face It TOGETHER, Commonly Well founder and CEO, David Whitesock, was tasked with finding or developing a measure for recovery. The primary goal was to shift the organization from anecdotal evidence to data-supported demonstration of success. The result was the Recovery Capital Index®, a multidimensional survey of a person’s social, environmental, and behavioral wellbeing.
2013
Iterations of the RCI are tested and refined
Testing and refining continued through 2017 before being submitted for scientific validation
2018
The RCI is scientifically validated as a tool to measure addiction wellness
We worked with Sanford Research to validate the assessment, with findings peer-reviewed and published in May 2018. This study confirmed that the RCI measures what it is intended to measure.
2019
The RCI is expanded for licensing and commercialization
The RCI is licensed to support Palm Beach County’s providers
The county’s aim to shift from being treatment-centric to person-centered and recovery-oriented required a well-tested instrument. The RCI supported them with an ease of use and interpretation of data.
2020
Commonly Well is formed with exclusive commercialization license of the RCI from addiction wellness nonprofit Face It TOGETHER
Commonly Well went on to expand into a full-service analytics and patient experience design firm.
2022
Commonly Well partners with engagement and SMS platform, Gloo
Since coming on the Gloo platform, Commonly Well has reached 12,000 people and delivered 15,000 RCIs through 60 organizations.
Commonly Well partners with NY Judicial
15 opioid treatment courts across the state of New York implemented Commonly Well’s recovery intelligence tools
