Threshold

Most of recovery is an ordinary Tuesday.

Threshold is a recovery and overdose-prevention platform for people navigating substance use, and for the people who love them. It works hardest on the days when nothing appears to be wrong.

Why this exists

A panic button activates after something has already gone wrong. That describes about one percent of the time a person spends in recovery. We built for the other ninety-nine.

Tolerance Guard

Tolerance collapses within days of abstinence. The remembered dose does not. The period after detox, hospital discharge, or release is among the highest-risk windows in medicine — so we speak up during it, unprompted, before anything happens.

An escalation ladder you control

Six states, from Baseline to Unresponsive. You see the whole ladder and you decide who is told what, at which tier. One exception, disclosed up front and not overridable: if we believe you are in medical danger, we alert someone.

Emergency scripts, ready in advance

Under acute stress nobody can produce a coherent report. Your address, your unit number, your door code, written down while you were calm and read back to you one line at a time when you are not.

Your legal protection, said out loud

The most common reason people do not call 911 during an overdose is fear of arrest. Most US states protect the caller. We say so first, before anything else, without being asked.

Caregivers are users, not endpoints

An alert at 3am wakes someone into maximum panic. Ours arrives with what happened, what the system already did, what to do in the next sixty seconds — and what not to say.

Real voices, not synthetic ones

The Memory Vault plays actual recordings made by the people who love you. We deliberately do not clone anyone's voice. Consent given in calm is spent in crisis, and a disclosure label does not survive that moment.

What we deliberately did not build

  • No sobriety scores, streaks, or gamification. A person who reports honestly while using is a person we can still protect. A person who hides is not.
  • No model-generated legal claims. Immunity law varies substantially between states. A hallucinated legal protection is the worst thing this product could tell someone. Our legal data is static and human-reviewed.
  • No AI in the safety-critical path. Triage is a deterministic, tested state machine. The generative layer writes language; it never decides whether you are in danger.
  • No data sold, ever, to anyone. Not to insurers, not to employers, not to law enforcement.
