How does online recovery work?
Medication support
Our doctors prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings for opioids, and naltrexone or acamprosate to relieve cravings for alcohol.
Medication is supported by a complete treatment program, which includes online groups, skills-based coursework, and community connections.
Virtual doctor's appointments
All our clinician visits are online and hosted through our secure app. Like any doctor's appointment, our providers will check in with you and monitor your health throughout your treatment. The only difference is that it is all online.
Group meetings
Recovery can be complicated and unpredictable. That's why our peer- and counselor-led groups are available online, so you have access to support when you need it most.
Groups cover a wide range of topics and identities, so you can join the ones that fit you best. Participate as much or as little as you choose.
Addiction treatment for Findlay, Fostoria, and other Hancock County communities
There is a myth that addiction and substance use disorders are big city problems. But the truth is that they affect all communities. In Hancock County, the overdose death rate is 32.8%, just above the national rate of 32.6%.
The Health Resources and Services Administration created a grant to help reach people in Hancock County who need addiction care but might not otherwise be able to access it. Uninsured and underinsured people in all corners of Hancock County (from Fostoria to Bluffton, McComb to Mount Blanchard, and all the places in between) may be eligible for free treatment, covered by this grant.

Why does this grant cover treatment costs?
Rural communities are heavily affected by substance use disorders, but often don’t have the treatment options available in more urban areas. To counter this and support rural counties in Ohio, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded Workit Health a grant to improve access to care in Ashland, Hancock, and Crawford Counties in Ohio.
This sounds too good to be true.
It can be hard to trust that anyone would give you something for nothing, but this is a legitimate, government-funded grant intended to support rural health. It’s real. You can learn more about this RCORP program here.
