Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
FDA-approved medication can be an integral part of a treatment plan. At Workit Health, providers prescribe medication for opioid and alcohol use disorders, for at-home treatment.
Medication for opioid and alcohol addiction
Medication can reduce cravings, relieve withdrawal symptoms, and lower the risk of relapse so that you have the opportunity to heal and develop new coping strategies.
Workit Health providers are licensed clinicians who prescribe FDA-approved medications, as appropriate.
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone) reduces the risk of fatal overdose by 38%-62%*
Myth
MAT isn’t recovery
Fact
Recovery looks different for different people. Studies show that people who take medication for alcohol or opioid use disorder increase their likelihood of long-term recovery.
Myth
If you use fentanyl,
MAT isn’t an option
Fact
People who use fentanyl can and do recover with the support of MAT, including Suboxone.
Myth

The FDA has approved three medications for alcohol use disorder. They work best in conjunction with behavioral health support, and help people moderate or quit drinking.

Do you treat anything else?
Workit Health treats opioid and alcohol use disorders. Because some conditions frequently co-occur with substance use disorders, our providers also offer our members treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia, hepatitis C, and more, as well as prescribing PrEP to prevent HIV.
How do you handle withdrawal symptoms?
When beginning Suboxone (buprenorpine/naloxone), most people are instructed by their provider to wait until they experience a certain level of withdrawal symptoms , which signal that it is safe to begin taking Suboxone. We talk about this process in our blog post, How to Get Ready for Suboxone Induction.
Once you begin taking Suboxone, the goal is to feel no further withdrawal symptoms. If you do experience them, speak to your provider about adjusting your dose.
Do I need to do group follow-ups?
Yes, the Workit Health program includes group follow-up visits for all of our members. This model provides not only excellent medical care and behavioral healt support, but also peer connections that have been shown to improve outcomes and help people reach their recovery goals.
