Workit Health to Host Free Recovery Event With Comedian Margaret Cho
The online addiction treatment provider will stream an exclusive Dopey Podcast episode featuring Margaret Cho on September 23.
Workit Health, an online provider of treatment for substance use disorders, will host a free streaming event on September 23 at 7 p.m. ET featuring comedian Margaret Cho in collaboration with the Dopey Podcast. The event will air on Workit Health's YouTube channel.
The Michigan-based company, which operates a telehealth model for addiction treatment, has positioned the event as part of its broader effort to reach patients seeking recovery support. The live stream represents a shift toward using entertainment and public figures to destigmatize treatment access in the substance use disorder space.
Workit Health's model focuses on remote clinical services for patients with opioid and alcohol use disorders. The company has built its business around reducing barriers to care through digital delivery, a model that gained significant adoption during the pandemic and has remained central to its operations.
The inclusion of a well-known personality like Cho underscores how treatment providers are increasingly using media partnerships and cultural figures to expand awareness among potential patients. The Dopey Podcast, which focuses on recovery narratives and addiction-related content, has developed a substantial audience within recovery communities.
The free-to-access format of the event aligns with Workit Health's stated mission to serve as a trusted provider in the addiction treatment space. The company has not disclosed attendance projections or specific clinical outcomes tied to such events, though similar initiatives in the telehealth addiction treatment sector have been used to generate both patient inquiries and brand positioning.
