2018 was another year of milestones for Workit Health.
We couldn’t have done it without our Workit member community and supporters. It’s hard to believe that Robin and Lisa, Workit’s founders, first had the dream of accessible, engaging, evidence-based addiction treatment only a few years ago. The dream has grown to a company with offices in several states and thousands of Workit members receiving evidence-based online addiction treatment.
Some highlights of 2018:
+ We received B Corporation status, proudly joining the movement of more than 2,300 companies dedicated to using business as a force of good. We join companies like Warby Parker, Ben & Jerry’s, and Patagonia.
+ We received accreditation from the Joint Commission, after undergoing a rigorous review process.
+ Workit Clinic launched in California, offering Suboxone & online therapy. Since the clinic’s opening, we’ve proudly partnered with BAART and the state of California to provide funding to those who need it. We continue to serve the entire state.
Our California opioid addiction clinic offers telehealth medication & online therapy after a single visit.
+ The launch of the California Clinic’s innovative, evidence-backed online solution for opioid addiction was featured in Diablo Magazine.
+ In Michigan, we moved to a larger Workit Clinic in Ann Arbor, after outgrowing our original space in Canton. We continue to offer evidence-backed medication for opioid addiction via telehealth as a direct response to the overdose epidemic after a single in-person appointment.
Our Michigan clinic offers engaging, accessible telehealth treatment after one visit.
+ Our telehealth solution for those struggling with opioid addiction in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan was featured in Bridge Michigan.
+ We continued to work with employers around America (and the world!) on preventing substance misuse in the workplace and creating cultures and communities supportive of recovery.
+ In April, we were featured in a WIRED magazine article by Zachary Siegel which asked, “Addiction rehab is broken, can technology fix it?”
+ Our Co-CEO & Founder Robin got married in a mountaintop ceremony, and you bet there was a mocktail bar at the reception. Congrats, Robin and Beau!
+ We interviewed inspiring recovery leaders, writers, and thinkers on our blog this year, including:
-
‘Cleaner Daze’ writer/director Tess Sweet,
-
YA author Amy Reed,
-
‘The Big Fix’ author and harm reduction advocate Tracey Helton Mitchell,
-
8 Step Recovery Founder Valerie Mason-John, and
-
‘My Fair Junkie’ author Amy Dresner
+ And our team told their own stories of recovery on our blog this year:
