About this episode
Join us as Liz Read discusses finding out about her loved one’s substance use disorder, and how this discovery and led to her creating Clearlee, an app that provides dignified drug testing.
Liz Read, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, had her world turned upside down when she discovered that a loved one was suffering from a substance use disorder. This discovery impacted her whole family. During the time of reestablishing the a foundation to move forward with their lives, Liz’ family member was required to complete drug tests. Liz noted the obstacles and complexity of the drug testing process. This observation sparked her interest in improving the process. In November 2020, Liz presented her concept at Alabama Launchpad’s competition, and much to her surprise, she was the winner of the Concept Stage.
Clearlee is an app that provides families and organizations with empowering accountability through dignified drug testing. Clearlee provides the person being tested with the necessary testing supplies and detailed instructions, and the person requesting the test receives reliable, real-time information. In addition to working with individual families, Clearlee works with sober living facilities, treatment centers, and employers to provide accountability testing to their clients.
