Problem
People with alcohol use disorder often face significant barriers to treatment, including limited access to specialized care, the stigma of in-person visits, and difficulty finding therapists who understand sobriety. Without convenient, judgment-free support, many individuals struggle to reduce cravings or maintain recovery on their own.
Solution
Sunflower Clinic offers a comprehensive online platform for alcohol use disorder, combining sobriety-focused therapy with medication-assisted treatment. Patients are matched with licensed therapists who create personalized recovery plans, and they can complete a medical evaluation for naltrexone, a medication proven to reduce alcohol cravings and the rewarding effects of drinking. If prescribed, the medication is compounded by a licensed US pharmacy and discreetly shipped to the patient's home. The service is entirely online, HIPAA-compliant, and designed to be private and judgment-free, with therapists available to talk seven days a week if patients want optional support.
Target Audience
Primary users are adults seeking to quit or reduce alcohol consumption, including those who have tried AA, dry January, or other methods without success, and who prefer an online, private, medication-supported approach to sobriety.
