Almost nobody beats an addiction on their own. That's why Online Rehab connects you with the people you need: peers who get it, the people you trust, and professional help. Every day, one day at a time.
Free basic version. For iPhone and Android. No ads, ever.
People who want to quit usually try it alone first. Out of shame, because they don't want to be a burden, or because they think enough willpower should do it. But addiction thrives in silence. When the craving hits hardest, you're on your own, and the habit almost always wins.
People who do make it almost always have others around them. Someone to call when things go wrong. Peers who know exactly what that evening feels like. A doctor or counselor who keeps an eye on things. That's not a bonus on top of willpower. That's the heart of recovery.
That's why we built Online Rehab. Not as yet another app for checking boxes on your own, but as a place that connects you with others every single day. Right when you need it most.
A large Cochrane review (2020, 27 studies, more than 10,000 participants) found that facilitated programs built around AA and other twelve-step groups lead to sustained abstinence from alcohol more often than other established treatments.

From day one, the app connects you with your own people, with peers and with meetings.
Online Rehab wasn't dreamed up behind a desk. It grew out of our own addiction. From the outside, our lives looked good. We were successful entrepreneurs. We built companies, made decisions every day and had everything under control. Or so we thought. Because behind that front, we were deep in addiction.
In the end, we got clean through treatment in South Africa. There we discovered what we'd been missing all those years: recovery is something you do together. With people who recognize your story, and with help at the moment you need it.
So we started building it ourselves. Online Rehab is the help we wish we'd had back then: a daily check-in, an SOS button for the hardest moments, a group of people who started the same week, and counselors who think along with you.
We almost waited too long. We want to spare you that.
You don't have to do it alone. We didn't either.
Stopping is the first step. Understanding why you used is what makes you stronger. That's why we use your first 30 days for an in-depth look at yourself, following the 12 steps of the Minnesota Model: the approach we recovered with ourselves in South Africa.
Included in the app. Want a live online group session every day as well? Choose the guided 30-day program. We wrote the questions ourselves; they're not an official AA or NA workbook.
A medal for day 1, day 2 and day 3, then for every week, month and year. What you earn, you keep forever.
The morning check-in asks how you slept and how you feel. For each addiction you answer one question: did you use yesterday? Yes or no.
Answer no and you get an instant reward with its own animation for each addiction. A pair of dice turns into a dollar bill, a wine glass into a cup of tea.
You fill in how much. No blame: your streak starts over, your medals stay.
Every morning a short story, the Serenity Prayer and a guided meditation of three to five minutes.
For 365 days, an encouraging message with a question to think about. Save your answer as a note.
Your entries turn into charts, patterns and savings. So you can see in black and white how far you've come.
Charts over 7, 30 and 90 days, and every Monday a weekly report with a small goal for the week ahead.
Log moments of craving. The app shows at what time, on which day and with which feeling it's often hard, and nudges you just before.
A timeline for each addiction: from better sleep after a week to a lower risk of heart disease after a year.
Per day, week, month and in total. Link it to a savings goal, like a weekend away.
Alcohol, smoking or vaping, cannabis, cocaine, heroin, ketamine, 3-MMC, ecstasy and other hard drugs, gambling, gaming, social media and sugar: each with its own streak and its own medals.
Your streak and today's reason on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, with an SOS button.
The red SOS button is on every screen. About to use after all? Pick one thing to do right now.
After a short group intake you join a private group of people who started the same week. You chat, support each other and celebrate each other's milestones. With your own profile (avatar or photo), private messages with buddies and video calls: one-on-one or with several group members at once.
Anonymous, with a nickname. With group rules, reporting and blocking.
Want more than the app? You get a steady counselor who knows you and thinks along with you.
A personal 60-minute session about your situation and which support fits you best. $79.
Message your counselor whenever you want. Only the two of you can read it.
Talk by video, right from the app. Nothing is recorded.
A group session every day for 30 days, with or without 4 personal sessions.
The basics are free. Premium adds everything else. Guidance is separate.
One minute every morning: your streak, how you slept and how it went.
See what you save and how much you avoid.
Always within reach in the gold bubble. What you earn, you never lose.
Breathing, your reasons, your relapse plan and your people in one tap. Let your contacts know with a ready-made message.
Five questions and an exercise every day through the 12 steps, at a time you choose.
A private group, a thorough intake and a profile with avatar or photo.
With a buddy, or with several group members at once.
Patterns, your hardest hour and a weekly report.
Daily message, stories, meditations and videos.
Confidential chat and video calls with your counselor.
The opposite of addiction is connection.— Johann Hari
We believe in it. Recovery is never a solo act. That's why Online Rehab gives you not just a group, but buddies too: fellows you build your own bond with and can chat with 1-on-1.
Take the self-test: 15 questions, about 2 minutes. You'll get an honest overview of what it costs you and personal advice.
Start with the free app, and try Premium free for three days. Want more guidance? Add what you need. For yourself, or for someone you care about.
A personal session with a counselor about your situation, and which support fits you best.
The first month is the hardest. That's why you meet for half an hour every day, online, in a steady group.
The 30-day program, plus four personal sessions with your own counselor.

No. The app supports you in quitting or cutting down, but it doesn't give medical advice or make diagnoses. If you've been drinking heavily every day for a long time, talk to your doctor first: stopping suddenly can be dangerous.
Yes. At the start you choose: quit, cut down first, still unsure, or not yet. If you cut down, you set a weekly goal.
The basics are free: your streak, the daily check-in, the savings calculator, medals and the SOS button. Premium, with your group, the 30-day self-discovery and daily support, is free for three days and then $9.99 per month, and you can cancel anytime through the App Store. Want guidance? Start with an intake session ($79), then choose the 30-day program with a 30-minute group session every day ($399) or the program with four 1-on-1 sessions added ($999). The family intake ($129) is for loved ones. See Pricing.
Your streak starts again at day 1, but your longest streak and all your medals stay. A relapse doesn't erase what you've already achieved.
No. Only your messages in the group chat are visible to your group, under your nickname. Everything else stays on your iPhone.
Yes. You choose one or more addictions. Each gets its own streak, its own questions, its own reward and its own recovery timeline.
