I’m very happy that I reached out to Anonymous Health for help. I’m grateful that they responded to my request quickly and were genuinely concerned about my wellbeing. I’ve been impressed by level of care I’ve received, and it has improved my outlook on life.
I love Anonymous Health and Shannon helped me so much!
Amazing experience! Wonderful therapist who really helped me deal with my issues and make meaningful changes in my life.
I love Anonymous Health! It's different from regular therapy because the app provided has ways to stay connected in between sessions. It has a mood tracker and helps you stay on top of your habits! This provider is harm reduction based, so you don't have to worry about them telling you what to do or shaming you. The best part is, it's covered by insurance!
People in my life were concerned that it was done over the phone. Having had issues with social anxiety and anxiety in medical settings over the phone was exactly what I needed and was more personable than in person experiences I have had in the past. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I knew I needed more than just a place that made me feel like I was in jail and just told me to say sober. They actually get to the root of the reasons why I drank. I was listened to with out judgment. And can honestly say the CBT works and find myself using it when talking to friends about their own struggles in life. I wish I knew of this place sooner!
I liked the atmosphere, the helpful feel of my team I work with. I feel the most comfortable with my present team that I hadn't felt with previous therapist.
Wonderful with building rapport. He’s very knowledgeable and he uses very inclusive language, I love that.
I’m speaking of my counselor Ryan Ellsworth. He has been a Godsend for me. Not only helping me with alcohol dependence, but navigating some very tough challenges in my life. He’s very smart, compassionate, and always knows what to say. He’s an experienced counselor and it shows. For the company, I’m less enthusiastic, but they have treated me fairly.
I love how actively available the counselors are. If I check in on the app and say I haven't had the best day, Kevin is usually texting me to ask how I'm doing within 5 minutes. The treatment plan has been great and everything is so individualized. I feel like anonymous health is a breakthrough in treatment options, especially for Alaska
Kevin Understands where I'm coming from and is very educated on proactive skills for overcoming addictions. The medication management needs work, left me 4days without my antidepressants and I almost lost my job not to mention the horrible withdrawals.

Is naltrexone addictive?
No, naltrexone is not addictive. It does not produce a "high" and does not cause physical dependence. It is used as a part of a treatment program for addiction but is not itself a substance of abuse.
What are the common side effects of naltrexone?
Some common side effects of naltrexone may include:
- Nausea or stomach upset
- Headache
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Insomnia
These side effects are usually temporary and may decrease over time. It's important to talk to your healthcare provider if side effects persist or are bothersome.
Are there any long-term risks of taking naltrexone?
Naltrexone is generally considered safe when used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. However, long-term use should be monitored, especially for potential effects on liver function. Liver function tests may be recommended regularly while on naltrexone, particularly for those who take it for extended periods.
How long do I need to take naltrexone?
The duration of naltrexone treatment varies depending on the individual and the severity of the alcohol or opioid use disorder. Some people take it for a few months, while others may continue for a year or longer. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance and continue with any other recommended therapies, such as counseling or support groups.
What happens if I relapse while taking naltrexone?
If you relapse while on naltrexone, it’s important to seek support from a healthcare provider immediately. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, but it’s not a cure for addiction. A relapse might indicate that other forms of treatment (e.g., therapy or counseling) are needed or that the current dosage or regimen needs adjustment.
