Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) works by taking the place of other opioids to prevent cravings and relieve withdrawal symptoms. Buprenorphine is one of three FDA-approved medications to treat opioid use disorder, and many people in recovery from opioid addiction say it helps them feel normal.
Your first appointment will be an orientation with your care team, and then a provider appointment will be scheduled. In some states, as long as you’re a good fit for the program, you will receive Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) e-prescribed to your local pharmacy the same day of your provider appointment. In others, laws require a drug test on file before a buprenorphine medication (including Suboxone) can be prescribed. It is always up to the discretion of the provider to determine if it is clinically appropriate to prescribe medication.
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.
The signup process is 100% confidential and takes only a few minutes. Sign up and schedule your orientation appointment directly online: Start Now
If you have questions, you can request more information and have a confidential text conversation by submitting this form.
Drug tests are included in your care, and mailed to you in discreet packaging. At your initial appointment, your care team will explain how to take a virtual drug test via the app.
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.
In a world that lacks simple, patient-centered, and evidence-based addiction care, Workit breaks down barriers as fast as anyone can build them.
Frequently asked questions
Will buprenorphine help me feel better right away?
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 Workit program?
Through Workit, you’ll meet with an affiliated clinician and develop a therapeutic relationship with them. You’re not going to feel alone out there. We also have 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?
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.
