I just started on this and so far it is helping. I think a lot of my drinking at night is an habit. This is helping me to slow down a lot. It takes me an hour to drink one cocktail now. I'm sure I will be able to stop all together.

It works! I could quit for 20-30 days at a time but then I would slip. This medication takes the urge away and I am able to maintain my sobriety.

I wanted to express this directly on their site, but they do not give a feedback option. My belief is if they truly care about treating individuals with medications they would not send them 4th class mail - I’m still waiting. I honestly thought they would send them at least priority mail, but I am sure this is about money. I did this service for privacy but advise others to go to the doctor, get a prescription, pay approx $15 for the medication, and join an in-person or online group.

Thank you so much for sharing. We really value every member's point of view, which is why we periodically send out emails asking for feedback. Regarding shipping, we always ship first time orders by USPS Priority mail as we now that once someone has made the decision to drink less or quit, their momentum is strong and we want to help keep that going. However, I can see that in your case a regional shipping delay was caused by the recent snowy bad weather. We truly apologize for any inconvenience. Customer support will be in touch directly to see how we can assist you further. Best of luck with you ongoing journey!

Goodbye "white knuckle" approach. My relationship with alcohol isn't unique. If I'm being honest with myself. I've been a "functional" alcoholic for over 30 years. As is usually the case, my penchant for binge / high intensity drinking has sent me into a downward spiral of dysfunction and despair. Negatively affecting decisions, impacted family relationships, finances, and my overall health. Finding myself flirting with rock bottom. I decided to look at all alternatives to help free me from the destructive burden alcohol addiction has become to my life. After researching Oar and Naltrexone treatment. I decided to make the commitment to quitting alcohol using Naltrexone to reduce the cravings that were seemingly ever present. After almost one month of treatment with Naltrexone. I can report the almost complete elimination of a desire to drink. Based on my results thus far, I highly recommend Oar facilitated Naltrexone treatment. Oar is engaged in the process. Providing useful tools to help you along your journey to sobriety (if that is your goal). They appear to fully recognize that Naltrexone therapy is part of a solution and acknowledge that there may be a need for additional support (AA / Smart Recovery) as you take your recovery journey. In summary, I would recommend Oar to any loved one or friend suffering from alcohol use disorder. It has changed the trajectory of my life.

Wow, who knew that there is a drug you can take once a day that relieves you of the cravings for alcohol! After struggling for years, going to counseling, and repeated attempts at self control, it was like a switch was flipped off in my head after a few days of Naltrexone. Oar was very helpful and getting the drug mailed to me at a reasonable cost sure is great. I highly recommend Oar Health.

For many, it really can be a game changer, just as you have found. Thank you for sharing your story. Your "switch flipped" analogy is one we hear a lot!

I don’t know why you would want to sign up with these guys when you can just get a prescription from your doctor? I think my insurance covered it but no reason to be paying 100 bucks a month for something that you can get from a general physician I have a prescription and I think it cost me maybe less than $10 for a one month supply

Thank you for comment and for giving Oar Health a try. Yes, we agree, asking your primary care physician for a naltrexone prescription is certainly an option we support for anyone who wants help to drink less or quit. At Oar Health, our mission is to support every effective approach to reducing alcohol use. However, we also understand that some people may feel uncomfortable discussing their drinking habits with their doctor or worry about having alcohol use disorder noted in their long-term medical records. In addition, not every primary care physician is familiar with naltrexone or prepared to prescribe it. This vital medication is often underutilized due to an ongoing educational gap that still exists throughout the healthcare system—a gap we at Oar Health are dedicated to helping close. Either way, whether you get naltrexone from us, or not, or chose another path to drinking less, we wish you the best!

So far, it appears that OAR may well save my life and that of my wife's, and without quitting alcohol completely. Easy and not unpleasant at all. It is kind of like when you have a big meal and just don't want to eat any more - but with wine. You can still enjoy a good glass or two and then you feel full.

Getting onboarded with Oar Health was not without doubts. Will it work? How will I feel? What might my new life look like? But after 1-week taking the medication, I had a very positive outlook and could actually see very clearly how this will positively affect my life from now onwards. Not only does the medicine work, it gave me space to think about how to start shaping my new life with more free time to spend with friends, family and for myself. This is a journey and I have set a 90-day plan to see through it without drinking. Starting to look forward to how I build it from here and enjoy every moment for the foreseeable future.
