What we treat
Care for every kind of opioid use
Workit Health treats opioid use disorder regardless of how it started or what you’re using now. Same medications. Same care. No judgment.
Prescription opioids
OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, hydrocodone, codeine, tramadol—including use that started after a legitimate prescription.
Fentanyl
Pressed pills (blues) or a fentanyl-contaminated supply of other drugs. Our providers are experienced with fentanyl induction and stabilization.
Heroin
Long-term or recent use, injection or otherwise. Stabilize on Suboxone with full ongoing support.
Kratom / 7-OH
Daily kratom use that's become hard to stop. Our providers can help you with the same Suboxone that helps people with opioid use disorder.
What's considered an opioid?
Full Agonists
Heroin
Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet, Roxicodone)
Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco, Lortab)
Morphine (MS Contin, Kadian)
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
Oxymorphone (Opana)
Codeine
Methadone
These are drugs that “lock in” to the brain’s opioid receptors and fully activate them, creating the strongest effect. They include both prescription pills and street drugs.
Synthetic Opioids
Fentanyl
Tramadol (Ultram)
Meperidine (Demerol)
Nitazenes
These are entirely man-made in a lab. They bond to and activate opioid receptors the way natural, plant-derived opiates do, but are often much more potent. Synthetic opioids are the primary driver of modern overdose risks.
Receptor-Active Supplements
Kratom
7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)
Tianeptine
These are substances often sold over-the-counter in smoke shops, gas stations, or online. While marketed as “natural” or “supplements,” they bind to and activate the same mu-opioid receptors as the drugs listed above.
Is this you?
Signs of opioid use disorder
- You're using more than you meant to, or for longer than you wanted
- Cravings or withdrawal symptoms run your day
- You've tried to cut back or quit and couldn't make it stick
- You keep crossing lines you swore you wouldn't cross
- It's affecting your work, relationships, or sleep
- You've started using something stronger (like fentanyl) to feel normal
- Your tolerance keeps going up
- You're usinf to avoid being sick as much as to feel high
- You've thought "I'll quit when I hit rock bottom" ... but it keeps not happening
Earlier care = better outcomes.
Our harm-reduction-first approach meets you wherever you are. Whether you’ve been using for 3 months or 30 years, started with a prescription or at a party, take Oxy or moved on to fentanyl—Workit can help you stabilize fast.
Our providers don’t lecture, don’t judge, and don’t ask you to be “clean” before getting help. The first goal is just to get you steady again.
Medication can change everything
What Suboxone does
Suboxone (buprenorphine + naloxone) is a partial opioid agonist that takes the edge off cravings and withdrawal without the highs and lows. It’s the most prescribed and most studied medication for opioid use disorder.
- Reduces cravings within hours of your first dose
- Eases withdrawal symptoms so your body and brain can stabilize
- Has a "ceiling effect" — much harder to misuse than other opioids
- FDA-approved & backed by decades of research
- Safe for long-term use, including during pregnancy
Your first 30 days on Suboxone
From signing up to feeling steady
Most members feel substantially better within the first week. Here’s what to expect.
1. Sign up & insurance check
Download the Workit Health app and answer a few questions. We verify your insurance and match you with a licensed addiction provider in your state.
- Day 1 · ~5 minutes
2. Video visit with your provider
Have an honest conversation about what you're using and how often. Your provider will assess whether Suboxone is appropriate and answer any questions about induction.
- Day 1–2
3. First Suboxone dose
If appropriate, your provider sends a prescription for Suboxone to your pharmacy—local or delivery. Most people feel cravings drop within hours of taking the first dose.
- Day 2–3
4. Dose stabilization
Your provider checks in to fine-tune your dose. If withdrawal is breaking through, they'll adjust. Direct messaging means no waiting until next month's appointment.
- Week 1-2
5. Steady & supported
You're on a maintenance dose. Guided recovery groups, in-app messaging with your Care Team, and ongoing visits keep you on track. You stay on Suboxone as long as it's helping you live the life you want. When you're ready to stop, your provider will help you taper off.
- Week 3+

Let's be real
What people get wrong about Suboxone
There’s a lot of noise out there. Here’s what the evidence actually says.
- MYTH
“Taking Suboxone means I’m not really sober.”
- FACT
Suboxone is FDA-approved stabilization medication, not a “trade.” It reduces cravings and withdrawal so your brain can heal and your life can come back online. People on MAT are in recovery—full stop.
- MYTH
“Online Suboxone is a pill mill.”
- FACT
Workit is a full treatment program that includes assessments, video visits, ongoing messaging, drug screening, and recovery groups. We publish our outcomes in peer-reviewed journals. Telehealth MAT has been authorized by the DEA and clinically validated for years.
- MYTH
“I’ll have to be on Suboxone forever.”
- FACT
You’ll be on it as long as it’s helping you. Many people do stay on Suboxone long-term. Because it works. That’s a medically valid choice. But if and when you want to taper, your provider will build a plan with you. We support but we don’t rush.
- MYTH
“Suboxone won’t work for fentanyl.”
- FACT
It does work for fentanyl. Induction just looks a little different. Our providers are experienced with fentanyl-specific protocols (including microdosing), so you can start Suboxone safely without precipitated withdrawal.

Pregnancy & OUD
Pregnant or planning to be? Getting addiction care is critical, and Suboxone is the recommended treatment.
If you’re pregnant and using opioids, the safest path for you and your baby is medication-assisted treatment, not detox. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends MAT as the preferred treatment for opioid use disorder in pregnancy. Our providers offer Suboxone care to pregnant individuals without judgment, lecture, or fear of being reported.
What care looks like at Workit for pregnant members
Buprenorphine (Suboxone’s main ingredient) has decades of evidence supporting its use during pregnancy for people with opioid use disorder. Our clinicians are experienced with prenatal MAT and will coordinate with your OB-GYN when needed.
You’re not at risk of losing custody for getting medical care. You are at risk of complications if you stop cold turkey—for both you and the baby.
- OB-GYN coordination
- Prenatal MAT
- Postpartum support
- Nonjudgmental
Member stories
Real people, real recovery
We’ve helped tens of thousands of members find their way back. Here are a few in their own words.
“If someone is struggling, I would tell them to give this a shot. I’ve been with Workit a little over a year now. I can’t say enough about how much it’s changed my life. For the first time in 25 years—however long I’d been trying—I feel okay. I feel okay.”
“I would say that if you are looking for help with an addiction—whether it be to 7-OH, opiates, or alcohol—you are in the right place. This community is welcoming, understanding, and supportive. You matter, and you are worth fighting for!”
“I own a business, so I knew I couldn’t just up and leave for rehab. I could have never done any of this without Workit Health—they literally saved my life. I would highly recommend anyone who is struggling to reach out. If I can do it, anyone can.”
Frequently asked
Opioid & Suboxone questions, answered plainly
The questions people ask before they sign up. If yours isn’t here, your Workit provider can answer it on your first visit.
What is opioid use disorder (OUD)?
Opioid use disorder is a medical diagnosis defined by problematic patterns of opioid use—using more than intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut back, cravings, tolerance, withdrawal, and continued use despite negative consequences.
It’s not a moral failure or willpower problem. OUD is a chronic medical condition that responds well to evidence-based treatment, especially medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone).
Can I get a Suboxone prescription online through Workit Health?
Yes. Workit is a fully online clinic that includes Suboxone treatment for opioid use disorder. Download the app, complete a 5-minute sign-up, and a licensed addiction provider will meet with you by video, usually within 2 days. If Suboxone is appropriate for you, your provider sends the prescription directly to your pharmacy.
95% of our members start care within 2 days of signing up.
What's the difference between Suboxone and methadone?
Both are FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, but they work differently. Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a partial opioid agonist with a “ceiling effect,” meaning it reduces cravings and withdrawal without producing strong highs. Suboxone can be prescribed via telehealth and in doctor’s offices. Methadone is a full opioid agonist. It also relieves cravings and withdrawal, but fully activates opioid receptors in the brain. Regulations around methadone require visits to a federally certified clinic called an Opioid Treatment Program.
Many people appreciate the flexibility that Suboxone treatment can offer: you take it at home, you don’t need to visit a clinic every day, and it can be prescribed via telehealth. Workit providers prescribe Suboxone, but do not prescribe methadone.
Will my insurance cover Workit Health?
We’re in-network with most major commercial plans (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealth, Humana, Anthem, and more), depending on state, as well as many Medicare and Medicaid plans across the states we serve. Most insured members pay $25–$35 per month out of pocket. We check coverage for you during sign-up, and you’ll know if you’re covered before attending an appointment.
You can also find out what your insurance plan covers by checking with them. Look at the back of your insurance card, and go to the website or call the phone number listed there to find out about your coverage, deductible, and co-pays.
How fast does Suboxone work?
Most people feel relief from cravings and withdrawal symptoms within hours of taking their first dose. Full stabilization on the right dose typically happens within the first week or two as your provider adjusts based on how you’re feeling.
Will Suboxone work if I'm using fentanyl?
Yes. Induction just requires a different protocol. Starting Suboxone too soon after fentanyl use can cause precipitated withdrawal, which can be extreme and miserable. Our providers are experienced with fentanyl-specific induction (including microdosing) so you can start safely.
How long do I have to take Suboxone?
There’s no fixed answer. Many people stay on Suboxone long-term because it keeps them stable, and that’s a medically valid choice. If and when you want to taper, your provider will build a tapering plan with you. We don’t rush tapering, and we don’t define recovery success by being off medication.
Is Suboxone safe to take during pregnancy?
Yes. Buprenorphine (Suboxone’s active ingredient) is recommended by leading medical authorities for opioid use disorder during pregnancy. Detoxing while pregnant is riskier (for both the parent and fetus) than staying on MAT. Our providers offer pregnancy-safe care and can coordinate with your OB-GYN.
Will my employer find out I'm in MAT treatment?
No. Insurance claims are protected health information under HIPAA. Your employer doesn’t see your diagnosis or treatment. We’ll explain how the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) shows up so you know what to expect.
If you’re still concerned about leaving a paper trail through your insurance, we offer a self-pay option for additional discretion.
What are the risks and concerns about Suboxone?
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.
