Here's a good read on how telemedicine is changing alcohol treatment (amongst other things!)
As someone who has used telemedicine to go from a daily heavy drinker to completely sober, I can attest to the power if this accessible technology. I despised AA (it's not for everyone!)...and I didn't feel "bad enough" (or rich enough!) for rehab, so I battled my heavy drinking for years, solo, before I finally found relief through pharmacotherapy and telemedicine. You can talk to your doctor, get prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy and even receive 1x1 counseling - all from home using your smart phone. It helped me seek the support and make the change I'd wanted for a long time, without feeling so much damn shame or stigma.
