Problem
Most people who struggle with alcohol use find that willpower alone is insufficient because drinking triggers dopamine-driven brain changes that create powerful cravings. Over 29 million Americans struggle with their drinking, yet fewer than 10% of those who could benefit from medication ever receive it, and residential treatment typically costs $20,000-$120,000 per stay.
Solution
Livelyhood provides a telehealth platform that connects patients with licensed medical providers who prescribe anti-craving medications, including microdosed GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide, shown in research to help quiet alcohol cravings. Patients complete consultations via secure messaging or video, and when clinically appropriate, prescriptions are fulfilled through partner pharmacies with discreet, plain packaging. Treatment plans are personalized based on the patient's drinking goals and medical history, with the option to choose semaglutide for those who want to drink less without losing weight or tirzepatide for those who also want weight loss. Clinical services are delivered by OpenLoop Health-affiliated providers, and the platform operates in all 50 states plus Washington D.C.
Target Audience
Primary customers are adults 18 and older in the United States who want to reduce their alcohol consumption with medical support, including those who have struggled with willpower-based approaches or who seek an alternative to expensive residential treatment.
