The service

Alcohol treatment, entirely online

Video visits with a board-certified psychiatric provider. Prescriptions to your local pharmacy. No facility stay, no time away from work, no waiting room.

Why online works for alcohol care

The single biggest barrier to alcohol treatment is not the treatment. It is everything around it: taking time off, explaining an absence, sitting in a waiting room where someone might recognise you, or being told the only option is a thirty-day program you cannot leave your life for.

Telehealth removes most of that. A video visit from your own home is private in a way a clinic visit is not, and the medication goes to a pharmacy you already use. For a condition where shame is a genuine clinical obstacle, that privacy is not a convenience — it is often what makes the difference between getting care and not.

What treatment looks like here

  1. A real evaluation. 45–60 minutes with a board-certified psychiatric provider. Your drinking patterns, health history, and your actual goal — which may be drinking less rather than stopping.
  2. Medication if it fits. Most commonly naltrexone, a non-addictive, non-controlled medication used for alcohol use disorder since 1994.
  3. Ongoing follow-up. Monthly video check-ins to adjust and troubleshoot, plus direct messaging with your provider between visits.
If you drink daily or heavily, read this first Stopping suddenly after sustained heavy drinking can cause withdrawal that is medically serious — shaking, sweating, a racing heart, confusion, or seizures. Do not stop on your own to "get ready" for treatment. Tell your provider how much and how often you drink; that information shapes how treatment is started safely. If you are in medical distress, call 911.

What we are not

We are an outpatient telehealth practice. We are not a detox facility, an inpatient program, or an emergency service. If you need medically supervised withdrawal, that is a different level of care and your provider will tell you so directly rather than treat around it.

One important safety check Naltrexone is not safe to combine with opioids, including prescription pain medication. Your provider screens for this and other contraindications during your evaluation. Individual results vary, and naltrexone is not a substitute for emergency or detox care.

Common questions

For medication management of alcohol use disorder, telehealth delivers the same evaluation, the same prescriptions, and the same follow-up cadence as an office visit. What it cannot replace is medically supervised detox, which requires in-person care.

No. Your care is protected health information under HIPAA. There is no waiting room, and the visit looks like any other video call.

Not through us. Some people find peer support valuable and we are glad to point you to it, but it is not a requirement of receiving medication care here.

Same-week appointments are typical, and most people start medication within a week of their evaluation.

This page is general health information, not medical advice, and does not create a provider–patient relationship. Only a licensed provider can diagnose alcohol use disorder or determine whether a particular medication is appropriate for you, after a full evaluation. Individual results vary. EnnHealth provides outpatient telehealth care and is not a detox or emergency service.
