Sunflower Clinic
Sunflower Clinic offers online therapy and optional medication for people seeking sobriety from alcohol and other
The Problem
People struggling with alcohol, nicotine, opioids, stimulants, or behavioral addictions like gambling and gaming often face recovery alone, without easy access to clinicians who understand sobriety. Traditional care may require in-person visits, insurance hurdles, or providers unfamiliar with addiction-specific treatment approaches. The site positions itself as an alternative to facing this struggle without structured clinical support, emphasizing that users 'don't have to face this alone.' The FAQ notes no insurance is required, suggesting cost and access are barriers the company is addressing.
The Solution
Sunflower Clinic provides 100% online therapy matched to licensed clinicians who specialize in sobriety, now available in 8 states. The process involves three steps: an initial therapist match call, a personalized plan built around CBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention, and ongoing support through weekly video sessions, 24/7 messaging, and progress tracking. For alcohol specifically, a licensed prescriber can evaluate patients for naltrexone, which a licensed pharmacy then ships to the patient's home; medication is explicitly optional and therapy is described as the foundation of every plan. Between sessions, patients have access to a 'sobriety toolkit' including the Sunflower app and free peer support groups. The site also offers a private, no-signup 2-minute self-check tool for people unsure if they have a problem.
