Our Story

We started Grata because addiction care was broken. People were slipping through the cracks--waiting weeks for help, judged instead of treated.

So, we built something better.

What we do

We're not just another tele-health platform

Grata delivers evidence-based addiction treatment that actually fits people’s lives.

Virtual Access to MAT, Therapy, Peer Support

We provide virtual access to MAT(medication-assisted treatment), peer support, therapy--all designed to be private, fast, and effective.

We use AI to personalize care plans, monitor real-time health data from smart devices, and catch relapse risks early.

AI-Personalized, Smart Device-Driven

Clinician-Led,
Person-First Care

We partner with the best clinicians in the world who treat the person, not just the symptom.

Who we are

We've seen this system fail--up close.

We're clinicians, technologists, and recovering addicts who believe recovery should be easier, faster, and more humane--for everyone.

What we believe in

These principles drive us

01.
Never Wait
Waiting is failure. In care, in product, in life. We cut the lag time between need and action.

We move first, move fast, and don’t ask for permission.

Because every delay is a risk, and the cost of waiting is measured in lives.
02.
This Work is Sacred
People die when care is bad.
This is life and death.

Somone’s son. Someone’s mom. Someone’s last shot.

Build like it matters--because it does.
03.
Build Like It's Yours
Because if it were your family, your code, your name on the outcome—you’d care more, move faster, and own every detail.

That’s how we work. No passengers, no spectators, no “not my job.”
04.
Stay Human
We lead with empathy, not ego.

This work is hard, but we don’t get hardened.

We listen, we adapt, we stay close to the people we serve--and each other.
