Addiction treatment that works for the Austin area.

America is in the midst of an opioid and substance use epidemic, and it has hit Texas hard. In 2020, Texas experienced a 33% increase in overdose deaths over the previous year. In Travis County, the increase was a staggering 37%. These statistics highlight how vital Workit’s efforts are to bring effective addiction treatment to all reaches of the Lone Star State.

Workit Health’s experienced, expert clinicians can prescribe FDA-approved medications to reduce your cravings and assist you toward long-term recovery. Our licensed counselors provide nonjudgmental, science-backed therapy to help you achieve your recovery goals—no matter what they are. With Workit’s telemedicine program, you have access to all this support and more from the privacy and comfort of home.

In the cities and across the wide rural areas, Texans in all parts of the state can access the same gold-standard care with in-app medical appointments and group therapy. You can get started with Workit Health’s virtual program in less than 5 minutes, and same-week appointments are often available. You don’t have to do this alone.

Have questions? We have answers

Workit Health affiliated providers offer clinical care for substance use in and across the state. Here’s how it works:

1) Complete our onboarding in just a few minutes by downloading the Workit Health app. During this step, we’ll verify your insurance or give you pricing information.

2) Schedule an appointment with your care team. Your first appointment will be an orientation to show you how the program works.

3) Order drug tests. Our drug testing process is 100% virtual and simple, and drug tests are shipped to you at no extra cost. In certain states, you must take a drug test before you can receive buprenorphine medications like Suboxone.

4) Video chat with a nonjudgmental clinician. Workit affiliated providers are compassionate, kind, and dedicated to helping people make positive change.

5) After your first visit, if clinically appropriate, the clinician will e-prescribe medication to your local pharmacy.

6) Receive ongoing support through recovery groups, learn new coping tools with our interactive curriculum, and message your care team if questions come up.

6) It’s that easy!

You will meet with a Workit afilliated clinician directly through the Workit Health web or phone app. Log in to your account at your scheduled appointment time, and choose to join your provider’s meeting room. Our in-app video conferencing is HIPAA-compliant and totally secure.

Yes, we accept many types of insurance for our medication-assisted treatment program for opioids, including a range of commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare plans, depending on location. We’re also continually expanding our coverage. For other treatment programs (coaching, counseling, and alcohol use disorder), insurance coverage is more limited. Please verify your coverage.

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults. Suboxone should not be taken by individuals who have been shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious adverse reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported. Taking Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants can cause breathing problems that can lead to coma and death. Other side effects may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, constipation, insomnia, pain, increased sweating, sleepiness, dizziness, coordination problems, physical dependence or abuse, and liver problems. For more information about Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) see Suboxone.com, the full Prescribing Information, and Medication Guide, or talk to your healthcare provider. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
