Ophelia provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals dealing with opioid dependence. Their approach focuses on helping patients manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms through scientifically-backed methods, moving away from traditional rehabilitation practices. Ophelia operates by offering these medical services directly to patients, utilizing a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors and scientists, to ensure high-quality care. What sets Ophelia apart from its competitors is its emphasis on privacy and convenience, allowing patients to receive treatment in a discreet manner. The company's goal is to reduce the stigma surrounding drug rehabilitation and empower patients to take control of their recovery, particularly targeting those under 50 who are at a higher risk of opioid overdose.
