Referral resource: Ria Health offers alcohol use disorder treatment in California

Looking to help commercial Blue Shield of California or Sharp Health Plan members navigate their options for managing a primary alcohol use disorder diagnosis?

Ria Health is a virtual alcohol treatment program that helps members reduce or quit drinking with FDA-approved medications. 

Ria’s program pairs these medications with guidance from certified addiction counselors, who work to uncover the root causes of alcohol use. Members can track their progress through a digital app, which syncs with a Bluetooth breathalyzer, providing real-time insights. All of this takes place under the care of top physicians in the alcohol use disorder field.

Whether your Magellan* member’s goal is to quit or cut back, Ria’s expert team can support them. Most members reduce their drinking by 50% within the first three months—all from the comfort and privacy of home.

You can refer Magellan Blue Shield of California and Sharp Health Plan members to Ria Health at 1-866-301-6764 or riahealth.com/Magellan to learn more about or enroll in Ria’s programs.
