About Ophelia:

Ophelia's mission is to reinvent drug & alcohol rehab in America: to replace folklore with science, drug dealers with doctors, and stigma with privacy, convenience, and choice. We’re a diverse collective of hearts and minds - healthcare providers, scientists, technologists, and policy experts - backed by leading venture capital investors to re-imagine and re-build the addiction treatment industry from first principles.

Ophelia makes medical best practices for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) private, convenient, and accessible, using a novel telehealth platform to provide FDA-approved medications, chronic support, and therapy at low cost. We've recently raised a $15 million Series A investment (Menlo Ventures, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and others) to expand nationally and grow our founding leadership team. We're also a certified Great Place to Work. Join us, save lives, and help fix healthcare for those who need it most.
