How does online alcohol rehab work?
Medication-assisted Treatment
When medication is prescribed, it is part of a complete treatment program, which includes online groups, skills-based coursework, and community connections.
Virtual Doctor's Appointments
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.
Follow-up appointments will be Shared Medical Appointments that include a clinician, a behavioral health team member, and your fellow Workit Health members on similar recovery paths.
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.
Reduce alcohol cravings with medication via telehealth
FDA-approved medications support recovery and relieve cravings.
Frequently asked questions
Can naltrexone help me drink less?
Yes, for most people
Alcohol use disorder has historically been really hard to treat. In the past, the only option was 12-step programs, which can be effective but don’t work for everybody. Today, naltrexone is a medication that we can use that helps with the cravings for alcohol. It’s easy to take, and there are few side effects. It’s quite effective in helping people to avoid picking up that first drink.

What can I expect from the program?
Physical, emotional, and mental support
You’ll meet with a clinician who listens. Then in Shared Medical Appointments, you’ll get support from that provider, other Workit Health members, and the behavioral health team. You’re not going to feel alone out there. We have groups you join and courses that you can do that are fun and not like being in school. It’s supportive. It’s a little something you carry in your pocket.

Is telemedicine an effective way to treat addiction?
Yes
With telemedicine, you can get the treatment that you need from the comfort of your home. Not everyone can find a babysitter to get to get to a treatment center. Workit Health was one of the first innovative programs to offer telehealth even before COVID. I love being able to reach out to people who need help wherever they are.
