Monument

Online alcohol treatment by video: a doctor can prescribe medication, plus therapy, mostly paid by insurance at about $25 a visit.

Available with limits.

Only in some US states (a review checked in October 2026 counted seven); pick your state at sign-up. Took over Tempest's members.

Checked 2026-10-26 · app.joinmonument.com, choosingtherapy.com

You sign up online, choose your state and insurance, and meet a doctor by video who checks whether medication for drinking is safe for you; therapy sessions can be added. With in-network insurance most visits cost about $25; without it a session is $100. It is only offered in some states, and it now also offers general therapy and doctor visits.

  • From $25/visit with in-network insurance; $100/session self-pay
