Case Study: a Fortune 500 company reduces alcohol use and improves mental health with Pelago

How one Fortune 500 company decreased alcohol use across its organization while improving mental health

A Fortune 500 company in the health care equipment and services sector sought to decrease alcohol consumption across its organization. The goal was to improve employee well-being and lower related healthcare costs caused by issues like absenteeism and lost productivity. To address this challenge, the company partnered with the digital clinic Pelago to implement its virtual alcohol use disorder program.

Pelago's solution provided members with medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and behavioral therapy through a digital platform. The program was rolled out to employees via internal communications. The results were significant, with 70% of participating members reducing their frequency of alcohol use within 60 days. Furthermore, 75% reduced risk factors for problem drinking, and the company saw a 76% reduction in heavy drinking among participants.
