Online Suboxone treatment for Michigan residents
Reviewed October 6, 2022
How does online opioid recovery work?
Suboxone treatment
Our doctors prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) which relieves withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings for opioids.
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is prescribed as a part of 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.
Virtual treatment for at-home recovery from opioid addiction
FDA-approved medications support recovery, relieve withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings.
Frequently asked questions
Will buprenorphine help me feel better right away?
Yes
With opioid addiction, people are physically and emotionally depleted. When you give someone the first couple of doses of buprenorphine, they immediately feel better. When you see them for their follow-up, they say they feel like a new person. It’s not often that you’re able to see the result of treatment so quickly.

What can I expect from the program?
Physical, emotional, and mental support
Through Workit, you’ll meet with a clinician and develop a therapeutic relationship with them. 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.
