When you're seeking help for addiction, one of the first decisions you may face is whether to choose virtual treatment or traditional in-person care. Each path has its benefits, and understanding the differences can help you make a choice that feels right for your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
At FirePit Health, we offer fully virtual care that combines evidence-based treatment with compassionate support—designed to meet you wherever you are, both emotionally and physically.
Virtual treatment means receiving care through secure video sessions instead of visiting a clinic or doctor's office. It includes services like therapy, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), peer support, and regular clinician check-ins—all delivered remotely through your phone, tablet, or computer.
Virtual care isn't about cutting corners. It's about making recovery more accessible, flexible, and private, without compromising on quality.
Both virtual and in-person care offer valuable support, but there are some important differences to consider.
Virtual addiction treatment is especially helpful for:
At FirePit Health, you'll typically be matched with a licensed clinician within 24 hours of completing your intake, helping you start care quickly and smoothly.
Yes. Research shows that virtual care—including therapy and MAT—can be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment for many people, especially when delivered by licensed providers following best practices.
Just a stable internet connection, a quiet private space, and a device with a camera and microphone (phone, tablet, or computer). No special equipment or apps are required beyond what we provide.
Yes. FirePit Health’s licensed clinicians can prescribe MAT medications if appropriate, and we’ll coordinate with your preferred pharmacy for pickup or delivery.
Virtual treatment can stand alone or complement in-person resources like local peer groups, outpatient services, or primary care. It’s about finding the combination that supports you best.
Your decision to seek help is courageous. How you receive that help should fit your needs, your comfort level, and your reality—not create new barriers. Whether you're starting your first treatment program or returning to care after time away, FirePit Health offers flexible, private, high-quality virtual care to help you move forward on your terms.
