Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Health

Workit Health, the nation’s leading virtual substance use disorder treatment provider, expanded into Illinois. The B-corporation has opened an outpatient clinic in Naperville at 1280 Iroquois Ave Suite 402. The clinic now offers 100 percent virtual services to the entire state for substance use, mental health and other common co-occurring conditions like hepatitis C. Residents of Illinois can connect with licensed clinicians and counselors via live chat and video through the Workit Health app and receive medication e-prescribed to their local pharmacy. Clinical evidence supports that FDA-approved medication plays a critical role in recovery from substance use and co-occurring disorders, cutting overdose death rates from opioids in half. Workit Health prioritizes a medicine-first, evidence-based approach to addiction treatment that is proven to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, provide necessary emotional support and ultimately reduce the risk of relapse or overdose. Workit Health’s harm reduction model of personalized goal-setting has led to a higher rate of truthful self-reporting of use, ultimately allowing members to be in control of their recovery process. The Illinois location is now open and accepting appointments. For more information, visit www.workithealth.com.
