Workit Health
A Holistic Pathway to Sustainable Recovery

What makes Workit Health’s evidence-based addiction recovery feel reachable for people facing opioid or alcohol use challenges?

Addiction recovery begins the moment help feels reachable. For millions living with opioid or alcohol use disorders, the barriers of traditional treatment can make help feel out of reach. Workit Health bridges this accessibility gap and makes recovery possible by providing virtual, evidence-based treatment for substance use through a person-centered and holistic model of care.

How is Workit Health’s integrated virtual care model structured to support stigma-free recovery?

Workit’s defining differentiator is fast, stigma-free access to integrated support, where medical care, the guidance of behavioral health professionals, and peer connection work together from the privacy of one's own home. Shaped by a decade of expertise and a patients-as-designers philosophy, the evidence-based care is accessible through a secure, user-friendly application that helps members engage seamlessly.

“Every person deserves a pathway to recovery that feels respectful, modern, and clinically sound. That's what we're building at Workit Health,” says Kate Katz, Chief Operating Officer.

Turning Barriers into Lasting Change

Which treatment obstacles does Workit Health address to enable sustained engagement in recovery care?

Traditional recovery programs often require long commutes, extended time away from responsibilities, or high costs that make care unrealistic. Others emphasize abstinence-only paths that not only exclude medical support for opioid or alcohol use, but also often stigmatize medication for addiction treatment. Workit Health—more affordable, accessible from home, and medication-first—removes these barriers to treatment and provides a personalized pathway to recovery backed by research and real-world outcomes.

Individuals who need help can download the app and create an account without feeling exposed or overwhelmed. A video appointment (often available next-day or same-week) brings them face-to-face with a licensed medical provider who listens and evaluates their needs. If medication is appropriate, the provider sends the prescription to their chosen pharmacy and sets the first shared follow-up visit.

Through the app, members access their medical visits, drug screens, monthly health assessments, peer support, recovery groups (including those led by licensed counselors), and a community that understands what change requires.

What role does peer support play within Workit Health’s long-term, integrated recovery model?

The focus on peer support sets the program apart in a virtual care landscape where many services stop at prescribing medication. Medication is effective for opioid use disorder, and many find it essential, but long-term recovery often requires the strength of Workit’s integrated model.

Care That Restores Daily Life

Workit Health’s holistic approach allows recovery to adapt to each member’s journey. Some come seeking a healthier relationship with alcohol and the ability to show up more fully for their loved ones, while others carry heavier burdens.

In the absence of safe care, many members have spent years trying to step away from opioid use. They felt trapped in the cycle of use and withdrawal, possibly punctuated by overdose. Without access to compassionate medical treatment, stability felt temporary and hope felt fragile. Joining Workit changed the trajectory entirely. Access to safe, prescribed medication, continuous follow-up, structured group support, and judgment-free, team-based care transformed a desperate routine into a grounded, sustainable recovery path.

The changes are visible to the people around them, which is why more than 30 percent of new members come through word of mouth. Progress tends to speak for itself.

Scaling Treatment Through Research and Insight

Behind each member’s experience is a research and development team that studies Workit Health’s data and outcomes. The team reviews retention rates, aggregates health assessments, evaluates program effectiveness, and compares results with national averages. These insights shape improvements and guide operational changes that ensure care remains safe and consistent at scale. The Workit Labs team also shares research by publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals, contributing to a broader understanding of telehealth treatment of substance use disorder.

Workit Health leans on insights from ongoing research as they expand into new states. Each state has its own regulatory landscape, so expansion calls for careful work. Through partnerships with community stakeholders, Workit builds and strengthens referral pathways for people who need higher levels of care. They also collaborate with health plans to support expansion built on measurable outcomes and strong retention.

Workit believes that the next era of substance use disorder treatment will be personalized, data-informed, and medication-forward, setting the standard for care in the years ahead.
