Workit Health

What It Is

Workit Health is a 100% online addiction treatment program with licensed clinicians available by video who can prescribe FDA-approved medications including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) and naltrexone for opioid, alcohol, and kratom use disorders. The program is built and operated by people in recovery and explicitly positions itself as an alternative to inpatient rehab, offering the same evidence-based medication-assisted treatment delivered through your phone or computer. Workit is currently available in 14 states: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington.

How It Works

The process starts with downloading the Workit Health app and answering a few questions about what you are looking for. During this initial step, which takes about 5 minutes, you indicate whether you want to use insurance or self-pay, and Workit checks your insurance coverage for you and matches you with a licensed provider in your state. You will know if you are covered before attending an appointment.

Your first appointment is typically available within 24 to 48 hours, usually within a week. A licensed addiction specialist, either a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner, meets with you to understand your history and build a treatment plan. This first consultation takes 1 to 2 days to schedule. If medication is appropriate, your provider sends your prescription straight to a local or delivery pharmacy. From there, you message your care team right through the app for ongoing support, dose adjustments, and medication management.

The treatment structure depends on what you are seeking. For opioid use disorder, Workit offers Suboxone treatment, which the company describes as FDA-approved medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal so you can stabilize and get back to your life. You receive prescriptions sent to your local or delivery pharmacy, ongoing follow-ups and dose adjustments, and nonjudgmental prescribing during all phases of life, including pregnancy.

For alcohol use disorder, the program offers naltrexone combined with online recovery groups and care that fits around your work, family, and life. Goals are flexible: you can choose to control your drinking or quit completely. The company explicitly states it is evidence-based and has no 12-step requirement.

For kratom and 7-OH dependence, Workit offers a Suboxone-based protocol specifically designed for kratom, a receptor-active supplement sold over-the-counter in smoke shops and online. The program includes a kratom-specific forum of members who understand that particular dependence and lets you treat co-occurring anxiety or depression if present.

Workit also treats co-occurring conditions. Your provider can prescribe for anxiety, depression, and insomnia when appropriate. They can also treat co-occurring hepatitis C and prescribe PrEP for HIV prevention.

The care team response time is stated as approximately 1 minute median during business hours. All care happens through the app; there are no in-person visits, clinic appointments, or rehab stays to interrupt your life.

What the Pages Prove

Availability and speed. Workit operates in exactly 14 named states: Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. The site states that 95% of members start care within 2 days of signing up. Time to first appointment is usually within 2 days.

Outcomes. The company publishes that 54% of members remain in treatment at 6 months compared to 22% national average for traditional addiction treatment. The company reports a 4.8-star rating and says 9 in 10 members would recommend the service.

Credentials. Workit's clinicians are licensed addiction specialists described as Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners. The company publishes that 70% of clinicians have 5 or more years in addiction treatment, 67% have worked in in-person addiction care such as clinics, detox, and residential programs, and 85% have personal experience supporting a loved one through recovery. One named provider is Dr. Ana Morales, a Nurse Practitioner licensed in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana with 12 years in addiction medicine and former outpatient clinic lead who specializes in early stabilization.

Pricing with insurance. Most members with insurance pay $25 to $35 per month out of pocket. The company says typical out-of-pocket cost across most major commercial plans and many Medicaid plans in eligible states is $25 to $35 per month. Medication costs are billed separately through your pharmacy. The company does not specify which insurers it is in-network with by state; you must check your coverage during signup or by contacting your insurance directly.

Self-pay pricing. For opioid, kratom, and 7-OH use disorders, self-pay is $75 a week with a $90 first visit, working out to approximately $300 per month. For alcohol use disorder, self-pay is $150 a month with a $250 first month.

Insurance details. Workit says it is in-network with most major commercial plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealth, Humana, and Anthem depending on state, as well as many Medicare and Medicaid plans across the states served. The company will check coverage for you in the app, taking about a minute. Insurance claims are protected health information under HIPAA and your employer does not see your diagnosis or treatment.

Medications. Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults and is FDA-approved. Naltrexone is used for alcohol use disorder to reduce cravings and drinking. For kratom, the site uses a Suboxone-based protocol.

Evidence base. Workit publishes peer-reviewed studies on populations and questions traditional addiction research often overlooks, including pregnant patients, rural communities, hepatitis C co-treatment, and virtual buprenorphine delivery. The company emphasizes that telehealth MAT has been authorized by the DEA and clinically validated for years.

Suboxone safety information. The site states that Suboxone should not be taken by individuals hypersensitive to buprenorphine or naloxone, as serious adverse reactions including anaphylactic shock have been reported. Taking Suboxone with other opioid medicines, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other central nervous system depressants can cause breathing problems that can lead to coma and death. Other side effects may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, constipation, insomnia, pain, increased sweating, sleepiness, dizziness, coordination problems, physical dependence or abuse, and liver problems.

What the Company Does Not Say

The site does not specify which insurance plans are in-network by state. While it says it is in-network with major carriers, you must check coverage yourself in the app or by contacting your insurance before scheduling. Specific Medicaid plans in each state are not listed.

The company does not publish follow-up protocols beyond mentioning ongoing messaging and dose adjustments. How often you see your provider, how long a typical treatment lasts, and what happens if medication is not working are not detailed.

The site does not discuss whether people can discontinue Suboxone or how long Suboxone treatment typically lasts. One FAQ says there is no one-size-fits-all answer, that many people stay on Suboxone long-term because it keeps them stable and that is medically valid, and that if and when you want to taper your provider will build a plan. But no information is provided about typical duration, how to decide when to try tapering, or success rates for people discontinuing medication.

Workit does not name specific medications beyond Suboxone and naltrexone. For anxiety and depression, it says providers can prescribe for these conditions when appropriate, but does not name which antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications are available.

The site does not specify how to contact a provider for urgent mental health crises. It mentions a crisis line reference (Call or text 988) but does not explain whether Workit itself provides crisis support or whether you go elsewhere.

The company does not publish independent clinical data. Outcomes are published by Workit Labs, the company's own research team, but no data from external researchers or clinical trials comparing Workit to other approaches is cited.

Who It Fits

Workit Health is ideal for someone with opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, or kratom dependence who wants medication-assisted treatment but cannot or does not want to interrupt work and family to attend rehab. It suits someone who has a job, runs a business, or has family responsibilities and needs care that fits around existing commitments. The availability in 14 named states means it works for residents of those states only.

It fits someone with insurance from one of the major carriers and those with Medicaid in the eligible states, since the typical $25 to $35 monthly out-of-pocket cost is much lower than self-pay prices. It suits someone who prefers privacy and discretion, since care is entirely virtual and employers and insurers have different information channels.

For someone with co-occurring anxiety, depression, or insomnia, the fact that Workit providers can prescribe for these conditions is a significant advantage over programs addressing only addiction.

Workit does not fit someone living outside the 14 named states. It does not fit someone who needs in-person physical exams or clinical oversight; while Workit is a full treatment program, it is not inpatient and does not provide the structured daily monitoring of a residential program. It does not fit someone unwilling to take medication, since Workit is a medication-based program. It does not fit someone who needs detoxification support before starting medication, since the company advises those needing medical detoxification to seek that first through appropriate medical channels, as Workit does not provide supervised detox. It does not fit someone skeptical of evidence-based medication treatment or who believes addiction requires abstinence without medication.
