Workit Health Ohio

Built around virtual access instead of a treatment center, Workit Health Ohio connects adults across all 88 counties with medication care, and ongoing recovery support. The team treats opioid and alcohol use disorders and kratom or 7-OH dependence and can address co-occurring anxiety, depression, and insomnia when appropriate. They provide LGBTQ+-affirming care and follow a harm-reduction approach. A federal grant covers opioid or alcohol treatment for eligible uninsured or underinsured adults in 17 rural counties in northern Ohio.

Access Treatment Through One Virtual Program

Clients sign up through the Workit app, confirm insurance or self-pay, and meet an Ohio-licensed prescriber by video. The clinician reviews their health history, substance use, medications, symptoms, and goals to determine whether medication fits their needs. They may prescribe Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, for opioid use disorder and kratom or 7-OH dependence. For alcohol use disorder, clinicians may prescribe acamprosate to support abstinence or naltrexone, including the Sinclair Method for clients who want to reduce their drinking.

Build Recovery Skills Between Visits

Clients typically meet their care team monthly to review medication, progress, and changing needs. Between visits, they can message the team, join guided recovery groups, connect with peers, and complete self-paced therapeutic courses. Groups and courses draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness, and relapse prevention to help clients manage triggers, and build coping skills. A kratom-specific member forum provides added peer support, and clients can complete remote drug screening when required, keeping treatment and recovery support accessible from home.
