The healthcare system has developed significantly over the years, with patients receiving far better outcomes now than they did throughout history. Here at The Sober Source, we like staying up-to-date with technological health improvements in particular, especially when we know they can genuinely help those with substance abuse problems get sober. That’s why we have embraced telehealth services.
Telehealth is the act of providing typical medical services, except that it’s all done digitally through video consultations, telephone calls, remote monitoring, and accessing digital platforms (like an app). Essentially, it incorporates any type of communication done digitally. This type of digital service boomed in popularity after the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdowns, and, since then, it has stayed as a standard service for many, including individuals seeking alcohol and drug addiction services.
What is Telehealth Addiction Counseling?
Telehealth addiction counseling is a type of outpatient program that you access completely online. It includes a range of therapy sessions, including individual one-on-one therapy, group therapy sessions, and counseling. These are usually conducted on the phone or via video call.
Telehealth addiction treatment also includes medication and case management, which can usually be accessed by the patient and any appropriate doctors and therapists.
About Our Telehealth Addiction Counseling Services: What to Expect
Individual Therapy Sessions
You do not need to attend in-person therapy sessions to benefit from therapy. Our telehealth services include individual therapy sessions to help keep you on the right path when recovering from a substance use disorder. That includes cognitive behavioral therapy, a type of therapy used to change your thoughts and behaviors, giving you new coping mechanisms to help you make better decisions in your daily life.Group Therapy Sessions
With our telehealth addiction treatment, you gain access to regular group therapy sessions via video call. These sessions work a lot like any type of group therapy, only everyone who participates joins from their own location via a link and code. At The Sober Source, we believe that group counseling provides numerous benefits to those going through addiction recovery, as it creates a strong support system. This addiction treatment helps build a sense of community, promotes accountability, and simply provides a safe, encouraging space where patients can speak openly about their experiences.Dedicated Medical Staff
You don’t have to see medical staff in person to receive proper care. When you choose our telehealth services for addiction, you will be assigned committed, compassionate staff members who will help you on your path to recovery, whether you are at the beginning of your journey or in the middle of it. You can rest assured that each and every staff member who works for The Sober Source is highly trained, compassionate, and has the experience necessary to give you the therapy and medication you need for a life of sobriety.Medication Management
Our telehealth services also cover medication management. This service involves the prescription of medications, delivery services, virtual consultations, access to electronic health records, and more. It makes getting hold of the medication you need to boost recovery that much more straightforward.Easy Digital Access
We make sure that our telehealth services are easy to use for all, whether our patients are familiar with technology or otherwise. Our team understands that getting to grips with a telehealth treatment system can be tricky, so we walk you through the process and ensure our digital support systems aren’t challenging in any way. If you need any assistance, we are always here to help.
We also make it refreshingly simple to get started. If you think our telehealth services are the best next step for your addiction treatment, simply get in touch with our team, and we’ll get you on the path.

What Do Our Telehealth Addiction Services Treat?
Substance Abuse Disorders
Alcohol Addictions:
Alcohol addictions are both common and devastating, often causing serious harm to the individual and their loved ones. It makes a person feel like they cannot stop drinking alcohol, even when they know it’s in their best interest. Unfortunately, alcohol addiction leads to physical, mental, and social problems, from liver damage to unemployment to accidents. It can even damage the brain after prolonged
Opioid Addictions:
Opioid use disorder is unfortunately common, affecting millions of people in the United States. Opioid dependence often occurs after an individual is prescribed the drug for a valid reason. The problem is that the body quickly becomes dependent on this pain-relieving medication, as it also produces pleasant sensations, making the user feel euphoric. Some of the most addictive opioids include fentanyl, heroin, and hydrocodone.
Prescription Drug Addictions:
Prescription drug addictions are also extremely common in the United States, and can include opioids. Some other addictive prescription drugs include central nervous system depressants such as Valium and Xanax, as well as stimulants..
Cocaine Addictions:
Another common addiction our telehealth services treat is cocaine addiction. Cocaine use is prevalent in the United States, with many individuals becoming addicted to the stimulating substance. There are real dangers of this, though, with long-term cocaine use causing cardiovascular and neurological damage.
Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
We understand that many people with substance use disorders also struggle with mental health challenges. Addiction and mental health problems go hand in hand, so our telehealth treatment offers dual diagnosis health care, focusing on both substance abuse and mental health treatment at the same time for patients who need that. We have a team of excellent mental health professionals who will provide care catered to your unique needs.
What Are the Benefits of Telehealth Addiction Counseling?
Telehealth Removes Barriers:
Easy access to care matters. With telehealth services, people from all over, whether they live in big cities or rural areas, have better access to the addiction treatment they need.It Saves Money and Time:
Many people struggling with drug abuse already experience financial difficulties, and consistently having to travel to group therapy and individual counselling sessions can make that financial strain even more difficult. Telehealth eliminates the need for traveling, which saves the patient time and money.It’s Convenient:
Not having to travel is very convenient for the patient. You can access the addiction treatment you need from anywhere, whether that’s home, work, or anywhere else in the world. You can even still join group therapy sessions when you are out of the state or country! It gives you a strong support system, no matter what, as long as you have access to the internet.Access to Specialist Medical Professionals:
When you travel to a specific clinic or hospital, you only have access to the doctors and other medical professionals who are physically in that building at that time. That’s not the case with telehealth treatment – if you have very particular needs, your case manager can put you in touch with specialist medical professionals.It Covers Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions:
If you require both substance abuse and mental health care, telehealth services can cater to you.Easier Case Management:
When everything is digital, it is easy for medical professionals to access the patient’s case and see all relevant information. Overall, it makes case management that much more straightforward and better coordinated, leading to improved care.Less Exposure to Illness:
Seeking addiction treatment from the comfort of your home means you do not have to travel to a place where other people might be sick. This, in turn, means you have less exposure to illness. This is particularly important for people in the depths of addiction, as addiction can weaken the immune system and make the person more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.Privacy:
There’s an extra layer of privacy when you seek treatment digitally from your own home. You don’t have to walk into a clinic or hospital routinely, for example.Is Telehealth Addiction Counseling Right for You? What to Consider
-
What Stage of Recovery Are You On?
This one is important. What stage of recovery are you on? Of course, everyone is different, and recovery is definitely not a straight line. However, it’s important to consider where you at. If you’ve already received inpatient care before and have been clean for some time, telehealth services may be a good choice. On the other hand, if you are still in the clutches of addiction, in-person care may be more appropriate. This is especially true if you need to go through the withdrawal process. -
Your Home Situation
Can you easily access telehealth services from home without interruption? Consider things like joining group therapy and individual therapy sessions. You will need a space where you can safely and privately access these sessions comfortably. If you don’t have that option, in-person treatment may be a better option for you. -
Your Comfort with Technology
Some people are simply more comfortable with technology than others. If the thought of using technology to access your essential medical care frightens you, it’s okay to admit that and stick to in-person care. Your comfort matters. -
Your Co-Occurring Conditions
As we mentioned earlier, telehealth can treat co-occurring conditions like mental health disorders. However, this is still something to consider, especially if you have very specific needs. Some people require mental health care in person, after all. -
Your Current Support System
While telehealth addiction treatment works well for building a support network online, especially with the group therapy sessions, it’s important to also recognize that an in-person support system is also beneficial. If you don't currently have a strong support network close to you, it might be worth seeking in-person group therapy to strengthen that. -
Your Insurance Plan
Does your insurance plan cover telehealth counseling services? This is important, as you want to know what is covered and what isn’t. At The Sober Source, we also offer in-person care. If you are unsure which of our services you need to get through addiction, get in touch with our team, and we will help you through the process, coming up with a plan that meets your exact needs. We are here to help.
