After losing dozens of friends to untreated addiction, Lisa McLaughlin and Robin McIntosh decided to take action.
They co-founded Workit Health, and serve as Co-CEOs. WorkIt Health is an on-demand, digital, addiction care platform for opioids, alcohol, and other comorbidities.
A care concierge guides Workit Health patients, connecting them to providers, groups, resources, and more.
Their results are astounding – there’s an 86% retention rate at month one (vs. 40% with other methods)!
In this interview, Lisa shares:
- Her personal story of addiction recovery
- How she recognized traditional recovery methods didn’t work for most people
- How Workit Health combines ease of access, affordability (through insurance or self-pay), and anonymity
