Who’s a good fit for at-home addiction treatment?
Many people know that they need help to change their relationship with alcohol or opioids, but feel stuck because rehab isn’t a good fit for their lives. Thanks to technological advancements and changes in telemedicine regulations, Workit Health is now an option.
Our telehealth addiction treatment is a great option for people who:
- Can’t take time off work (or are out of PTO)
- Have transportation challenges
- Care for kids or other dependents
- Don’t want to fall behind at school
- Don’t want to navigate FMLA to get a leave of absence
- Have pets they don’t want to leave behind

What is inpatient rehab?
“Rehab” is the common term for residential or inpatient addiction treatment, in which the person receiving treatment stays in a facility full-time. This sometimes includes medically supervised detox. It is often heavily structured, with rules about phone usage, meeting attendance, sleep, and diet. Length of stay depends on many factors (including insurance and ability to pay), but is often 30 days or more. Some rehabs may prescribe medication, but many do not.
What is Workit Health?
Workit Health offers a convenient, all-virtual alternative to rehab, done totally through the Workit app. Workit Health’s clinical programs for opioid and alcohol use disorder include medication-assisted treatment, support groups, Shared Medical Appointments, and therapeutic courses—all from the comfort of home. Drug tests are mailed to your home and completed through the app, and medication is e-prescribed to your local pharmacy, when clinically appropriate.
