Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects of this research are adults who self-identify as wanting to change their relationship to alcohol or drugs, who report currently using alcohol or drugs, or having recently stopped, who have access to an internet-enabled device, who are not currently suffering from untreated acute medical or psychiatric conditions, who anticipate being able to access the intervention over a six-month period, and who are able to freely consent to participate by themselves.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Because the intervention is written for an adult audience, as well as the logistical challenges of having private access to an internet enabled device, this research is limited to participants over the age of 18.

Three-month intervention on the online Workit Health platform
The Workit Health program is an adaptive "recovery in your pocket" harm reduction and sobriety solution that provides 24-hour access to adaptive lessons, mentorship, written and audio driven therapeutic exercises and tools, and peer-to-peer coaching. Users access our online site and enter an initial 90-day program that takes a holistic approach to recovery by addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of addiction. As they advance, they move through successive levels that include lessons, activities, and assignments. Bonus materials, such as meditations and suggested reading, give users timely opportunities to dive deeper into a problem they are struggling with that day. Workit Health implements evidence-based strategies such as CBT, DBT, and MI.
