Your First Appointment

A calm start to the care you need

Starting addiction treatment can bring a lot of uncertainty. At FirePit Health, we make your first step straightforward and judgment-free. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or someone you care about, your first appointment is designed to provide clarity, comfort, and a clear path forward.

What to expect: Step-by-step

1. Submit a short intake form
Begin by completing a secure online form that helps us understand your background, needs, and goals. It takes just a few minutes and allows us to match you with the right clinician.

2. Get matched with a licensed clinician
We typically match you with a qualified addiction specialist within 24 hours. Our network includes therapists, counselors, and medical providers experienced in virtual addiction care.

3. Attend your first virtual session
You’ll receive a private video link for your session—no travel or waiting rooms. During your appointment, your clinician will learn about your situation, discuss your goals, and introduce treatment options. There’s no pressure or judgment—just a conversation to help you move forward.

4. Start your personalized care plan
Based on your needs and preferences, your clinician will create a care plan tailored to you. This may include therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), peer support, or other services. You’ll also receive clear guidance on next steps and how to continue care.

Common questions

Do I need to be sober before my first appointment?

No. You can begin treatment at any stage. Your clinician will support you no matter where you are in your recovery journey.

Will I talk to the same clinician every time?

Usually, yes. Most patients continue working with the same provider for ongoing consistency, unless they request a change.

Is online addiction treatment really effective?

Yes. Virtual treatment has been shown to be just as effective as in-person care for many people. Our secure platform allows you to get help discreetly, from anywhere.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection. No paperwork or medical records are required in advance.
