We believe we deserve better
Everyone deserves access to the gold standard of treatment, without judgment.
Telehealth is a powerful way to deliver trusted, effective addiction care.
Our founders
Workit Health was founded in 2015 by Robin McIntosh and Lisa McLaughlin, two women in long-term recovery from addiction.
Robin and Lisa had experienced America’s broken treatment system firsthand, and wanted to build a better way forward.
Research and outcomes
Effective care is at the core of our mission. Our research team relies on measurement-based care to ensure we’re improving outcomes.
We recently completed the first study assessing telemedicine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) among rural Americans post-COVID, illustrating the effectiveness of our care model.
