Ophelia

The #opioid epidemic has taken millions of lives, yet that alone hasn’t been enough to drive real change. Now, the White House is putting a price tag on the crisis: trillions of dollars in economic costs. If the loss of human life hasn’t spurred action, maybe the financial burden will. Opioid use disorder isn’t just deadly. It’s expensive. It drains families, communities, and the healthcare system. The good news? Treatment works. When people have access to medication and support, they do get their lives back. It’s time to stop paying the price for inaction and start investing in solutions that save lives.

A message from our founder and CEO, Zack Gray, as he reflects on the mission that started it all.

In just five years, Ophelia has helped redefine what accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free opioid use disorder treatment looks like. Swipe through to see what we’ve accomplished!

Meet Ally. Over the past four years, Alexandra McClellan, MSN, PMHNP-BC has worn many hats at Ophelia, starting as one of our first RNs, stepping into leadership as a nursing supervisor, and now transitioning into a prescribing clinician after completing her psychiatric nurse practitioner program. Through every role, one thing has remained the same: her dedication to her patients. "On the hardest days, what inspires me is thinking about the growth that I have witnessed in my patients' eyes!" We’re lucky to have clinicians like Ally who bring both expertise and heart to this work every day.

In celebration of our 5 year anniversary, we're asking some of our most tenured clinicians why they chose a career in addiction and what inspires them every day. First off is Ellen Linde, FNP BC

Five years ago, we set out to make life-saving treatment more accessible, breaking down barriers for those struggling with opioid use disorder. Today, we’ve helped thousands of patients feel like themselves again. A huge thank you to our team, partners, and most importantly, our patients, who inspire us every day. Here’s to five years of impact—and many more ahead.

The headline speaks for itself. And at Ophelia, we’re working every day to change this reality. By using telehealth, we’re breaking down barriers and making buprenorphine treatment accessible to those who need it most. https://lnkd.in/giDZf6uR

There is nothing we love seeing more than strangers stepping in and setting the record straight on this 'not sober' nonsense. #opioidusedisorder #telehealth
