How does online alcohol rehab work?
Clinical care
Attend video visits with a licensed provider discreetly, from the comfort of home. You'll have the option of medication that relieves cravings and supports your recovery, e-prescribed to your local pharmacy.
If you have co-occurring issues like anxiety or depression, treatment is also available for those conditions.
Community
Changing your relationship to alcohol is easier when you’re not doing it alone. Build your recovery community in group follow-up visits with your provider, a behavioral health team member, and other Workit Health members. Chat in in-app forums, and build coping skills in online recovery groups.
Support
Receive help and motivational messages, so you know you always have a team on your side. Chat with your clinical, behavioral health, and admin teams via in-app messaging. Complete interactive recovery courses, opt in for daily affirmations, and get email and SMS check-ins from your team.
Reduce alcohol cravings with medication via telehealth
FDA-approved medications support recovery and relieve cravings.
Frequently asked questions
Can naltrexone help me drink less?
Yes, for most people
Alcohol use disorder has historically been really hard to treat. In the past, the only option was 12-step programs, which can be effective but don’t work for everybody. Today, naltrexone is a medication that we can use that helps with the cravings for alcohol. It’s easy to take, and there are few side effects. It’s quite effective in helping people to avoid picking up that first drink.

What can I expect from the program?
Physical, emotional, and mental support
You’ll meet with a clinician who listens. Then in Shared Medical Appointments, you’ll get support from that provider, other Workit Health members, and the behavioral health team. 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.
