American Marconi Wireless News - Elle Communications is Agency of Record for FDA-Cleared Neurostimulation Device

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 19, 2025 / Elle Communications, a subsidiary of Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN), is the agency of record for NET Recovery, an FDA-cleared neurostimulation device ¹ for which recent research demonstrated the potential to reduce both opioid and stimulant use ².

Amid record-high overdose deaths and no FDA-approved medications for stimulant addiction, a new peer-reviewed study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry has found that NET Recovery's the NET Device™ has the potential to significantly reduce both opioid and stimulant use following treatment. The release of these findings coincides with the company's national launch of a treatment program, which expands access to evidence-based, non-pharmacological support across the U.S.

The study, the first to show that a medical device may reduce both opioid and stimulant use, found that patients who used the NET Device™ for more than 24 hours during opioid withdrawal reported significantly fewer days of opioid and stimulant use in the three months after discharge. Patients receiving longer stimulation also demonstrated greater retention in residential treatment, a critical predictor of long-term recovery.

While the NET Device™ is FDA-cleared for reducing symptoms of opioid withdrawal, emerging data indicate the technology may also help stabilize patients using other substances such as cocaine and methamphetamine, addressing the polysubstance addiction patterns now driving nearly half of all fatal overdoses.

"This study reinforces what we're seeing in treatment settings across the country, that when people can find relief from withdrawal quickly and safely, they're able to stay in care longer and build the stability needed for recovery," said Joe Winston, CEO and co-founder of NET Recovery and co-author of the study.

Elle Communications' team of experts was brought on to establish the brand as a trusted, visionary force transforming the recovery landscape, reframing public, medical, and cultural conversations around what's possible in opioid withdrawal management and relapse prevention. Before activating any PR or launch strategy, Elle conducted an extensive, standalone message-testing project that included designing and facilitating focus groups in key markets nationwide, an engagement NET Recovery sought out specifically due to Elle's expanding leadership and recognized expertise in this area. This work reflects the agency's growing portfolio of message-testing and audience-insight initiatives across the addiction, behavioral health, and social impact sectors, a specialty that continues to be a major area of growth for the firm.

Building on these insights, Elle is now deploying a full suite of strategic communications services to support the brand's national launch and long-term influence, including high-impact PR and media relations, thought-leadership development for executive voices, funding and investor-facing announcement strategy, and integrated storytelling campaigns designed to accelerate adoption and cultural change. Through this work, Elle ensures NET Recovery speaks directly to the needs, motivations, and concerns of diverse stakeholders-from people in recovery and medical professionals to payors, policymakers, public advocates, and the investment community-creating narratives that resonate, drive trust, and mobilize action.

As the company expands nationally, NET Recovery's new treatment program brings the NET Device™ directly to individuals in recovery through a secure, guided model designed to reduce barriers of cost, geography, and stigma. The rollout allows patients to access non-pharmacologic withdrawal relief and early stabilization support from home for the first time.
