About Oar Health
Oar Health offers a virtual alcohol treatment program specifically designed for people who want to reduce their drinking but aren't necessarily ready to quit entirely. The program uses FDA-approved medications like naltrexone combined with coaching from alcohol specialists. Oar's approach is rooted in harm reduction—meeting people where they are rather than demanding abstinence. Treatment is entirely virtual with quick onboarding: complete an assessment, get a prescription, and start coaching. The program works well for people who recognize their drinking is problematic but don't identify as alcoholics or want traditional treatment.
