Hey Lawrence, I see you contacted customer support but we were unable to find an account under your name. I'm going to message you privately to get your info so we can try to help you.
In the meantime, did you try logging into your Oar Health member dashboard to message your clinician?
They may well be able to help you if you've found the meds not as effective as we would want them to be.

Naltrexone is a life changer for me
Naltrexone is a life changer for me. I had been a heavy drinking functional "alcoholic" for close to a decade. It began with work, home and financial stress. Work stress remains high. The others ebb and flow.
Meetings and therapy did not make a lasting difference. Within a week of beginning Naltrexone, my drinking was greatly reduced. Within 2 weeks, I had stopped.
Within a month, I stopped taking Naltrexone daily, and have no trouble having one or two drinks, once or twice a week with my wife. Glad to have a bottle of Naltrexone just in case, but don't expect to need it. I first heard about it within the last year, and then about OAR a few months later. Thank you!
Doctors need to let patients know there are possible treatments for common, serious issues such as drinking. I have never had a doctor ask me about drinking in a way that I felt I could be honest.
So once again, thank you.

I have no complaints with OAR
I have no complaints with OAR. I fined their emails informative.
The Naltrexone is "OK". I do still enjoy my drink. It has not caused me to not have the desire to have a drink. As i thought it might. Most often I don't pour a second. On stressful days, I do have the desire/craving for a second. The Naltrexone does not help.

They dispense 360 pills at once! Watch out.
Please be aware. They dispense and bill you an entire years worth of the rx. You will be billed $469.00. Not the 39.00 a month they advertise. I was told it’s in the small print by “ SHIRLEY” as in surely we just ripped you off.
Beyond that it is illegal in many states to dispense an entire years worth of an rx. I know this because my husband is a pharmacist and we owned 5 stores in another state. I also worked in Big pharma for 25 .
The platform is unethical and borders on malpractice.
I had a horrible interaction after one dose! I can not the other 359 pills. They refuse to give me a refund.
I also made a report about how ill I became and heard nothing back from any provider. This is also malfeasance. These people are scammers. I’m going to the pharmacy board in New York State, as well as the CDC, DEA and FDA! Do not do neither this company.
Go see your doctor.
Your doctor will give you a 30 day supply only and will manage your disease state and any side effects. In 25 years of practicing pharmacy I have never dispensed a 12 month supply.
I of course filed a dispute with my CC company.
Oar did offer me $100.00! That’s not enough! I’m more concerned with how patients are being treated. It’s a sham. Stay away.
Response from OarhealthNov 19, 2024
Hi Wende,
We’re so sorry to hear that you experienced side effects from the medication. Whilst only a very small proportion of people do, we do recognize that when it happens it can be distressing.
Regarding returns, by law, prescription medication cannot be reused once it has left the custody of the pharmacy.
Just as we would not send you medication that had been shipped to someone else (and then returned), we cannot send your medication to anyone else.
Therefore, we are really sorry, but we cannot offer refunds on medication once it has shipped.
Looking at our records, however, I do see that in your particular case, we made a special exception. Even though the medication will have to be destroyed upon return.
Regarding dispensing practices, Oar Health provides access to clinicians that are fully licensed in over 40 states and we always make sure to comply with state and federal policies regarding how medication is dispensed.
Regarding the plans we offer, the choice to take a year’s supply is entirely up to our members.
We offer three, six and twelve month medication plans, with greater discounts the larger the size of the shipment.
This is made clear on the checkout page of our website. It is not hidden in the small print. In your case, I see that you chose to select a year’s supply of medication at a heavily discounted price, which is common.
Around 40% of our members do this and are extremely happy to get the life-changing medication at a big discount, secure in the knowledge that they won’t run out.
However, Wende, we are really grateful for your feedback and have taken it on board. We started this business to help people and really do want to make it easier for folks to drink less or quit.
Therefore, we have now updated the language on our website to make our returns policy even more clear to our members.
Thank you for giving Oar Health a try. We wish you all the best on your continued journey to drink less, or quit.

Buyer Beware!
I have been trying to get information from this company for weeks now so I can submit my bill to my medical spending account. They refuse to give me the specific amount I was charged for my "prescription" alone- so my account will not reimburse me. There is no phone number to contact anyone and now they are ignoring my emails. Complete scam! Buyer Beware.
Update to response from OAR: I did indeed finally get a response from Neil - but that was only after I filed a complaint with the BBB and wrote this review. Before that time, I exchanged no less than 20 emails with a very rude customer service rep who refused to admit she knew what an itemized receipt was and -after I sent her an example- simply said - “This is all we provide” (the non-itemized receipt). In my opinion the company seeks to not be transparent about how much their “medication” costs and how much they are actually pocketing in “membership fees.” The whole experience has NOT been one which I would suggest to anyone else.

Hey Lori,
Apologies for the time it took to get you the invoice you needed in the particular format your FSA needed. Please do let us know if you managed to get reimbursed.
If not, please do email me back and we’ll help sort this out for you ASAP.

SCAM
SCAM! Sucks all people with an alcohol addiction worries into a money draining theft from their bank accounts. I can see future legal actions being taken against Oarhealth for their NYC backroom pilfering tactics against unwilling participants. When the FCC starts a lawsuit, many of us will be on it trying to get our money back these drugs are dangerous and should not be sold willy-nilly to any alcoholic, who is looking to say sober for health, family and lifestyle reasons.

We’re so sorry you had a negative experience.
At checkout, every Oar Health member signs up for a recurring subscription to medication, if prescribed. This subscription begins as soon as the Oar Health member is prescribed by a clinician.
Members cannot move forward without checking a box that states that they have read and agreed to these terms.
However, we are really grateful for your feedback and have taken it on board. We started this business to help people and really do want to make it easier for folks to drink less or quit.
Therefore, we have now updated our website to make this even more clear.
Regarding the medication Oar Health provides access to, naltrexone is the frontline medication for alcohol use disorder. It has been FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder and is included in the Essential Medicines List (EML) by the World Health Organization (WHO).
For 30 years, naltrexone has been proven to be safe, effective, and non-addictive.
Thank you for giving Oar Health a try. We wish you all the best on your continued journey to drink less, or quit.

I really wanted to stop drinking
I really wanted to stop drinking. I heard an Oar commercial on the radio and responded with a text. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical. I was wrong. I started Naltrexone on Jul 15 2023. I have not had a drink of alcohol nor have I wanted it. Naltrexone alone worked for me. However, they also offer guidance, support groups and a great site if someone needs more. My mental and physical health have improved dramatically.
