Today, we sit down with Robin McIntosh, the visionary founder of Workit Health. Founded in 2015 by Robin and her co-founder Lisa McLaughlin, both women in long-term recovery from addiction, Workit Health has emerged as a trailblazer in the field of addiction treatment. Driven by their firsthand experiences with America's fractured treatment system, Robin and Lisa set out to create a more effective and accessible approach to care.

At the heart of Workit Health's mission lies a commitment to measurement-based care, ensuring that their innovative strategies translate into improved outcomes for individuals battling addiction. The company's research team, Workit Labs, brings together a diverse group of experts dedicated to advancing the understanding of substance use disorder treatment through rigorous scientific research and analysis.

In a groundbreaking study, Workit Health recently assessed the effectiveness of telemedicine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) among rural Americans in the post-COVID era. The findings not only underscore the efficacy of their care model but also shed light on the transformative potential of telemedicine in reaching underserved populations.

Throughout the interview, Robin shares valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of pioneering a new approach to addiction treatment. She delves into the importance of empathy, innovation, and data-driven decision-making in revolutionizing the landscape of care.
