About Ria Health
Ria Health is a virtual addiction treatment program serving adults in San Francisco, California, and nationwide. Clients can access ongoing support to overcome alcohol use disorder. You’ll benefit from the flexibility to work on recovery from the comfort of your home.
Supporting Recovery with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
I think it’s helpful that they integrate MAT and remote counseling to help you reach your recovery goals. They prescribe FDA-approved acamprosate, naltrexone, and gabapentin. These medications can curb your desire to drink and help you focus on healing.
You’ll also participate in weekly recovery coaching with a licensed therapist through their secure app. They offer proven therapeutic interventions, including motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy, to help you address addiction’s underlying factors.
Harm Reduction Options
A unique aspect I noticed is that they provide harm reduction options. If you aren’t ready to abstain from drinking, you can access services to cut down on alcohol use.
They use innovative tools, such as a Bluetooth breathalyzer, to help you track alcohol consumption. You’ll still participate in online sessions to gain new coping skills. You can also switch to their abstinence program whenever you’re ready.
Finding Healing in San Francisco
While their services are available remotely, many options to supplement your journey are available in San Francisco. You can visit Presidio and Golden Gate Park in your spare time. These beautiful spaces offer the chance to reflect and recharge in between sessions. You’ll also have several community resources and support groups to connect with people face to face.
