About this app

Pelago provides virtual care for people who want to rethink their habits with alcohol, tobacco and nicotine, opioids, cannabis, or stimulants.

Pelago helps members work toward goals such as:
‣ Rethinking alcohol use (drinking less, drinking more mindfully, or stopping)
‣ Quitting or reducing tobacco and nicotine use (cigarettes, vaping, smokeless tobacco, cigars, etc.)
‣ Managing or stopping opioid use
‣ Making changes to cannabis or stimulant use
‣ Understanding your patterns and how substance use affects your health

Through the Pelago app, you can:
‣ Meet your care team: a dedicated care specialist for one-on-one video calls, plus a prescriber when medication is part of your plan
‣ Message your care team any time, and book or reschedule calls in the app
‣ Talk with Sona, your AI support, by voice or text, 24/7, between calls
‣ Make progress toward your goals in guided conversations with Sona, designed by Pelago’s clinicians on evidence-based approaches
‣ Track each day in under a minute, set a weekly plan, and look back on it in a weekly recap
‣ Earn rewards for tracking and attending care calls, and redeem them for gift cards or gift items (where included in your plan)
‣ Manage medication and nicotine replacement, such as patches and gum, with your care team (if applicable)

How to get started

Once you’re in, answer a few quick questions to personalize your program, then have your first conversation with Sona and meet your care team at your own pace.

How does Pelago work?
Pelago gives you the tools to rethink your habits in a way that works for you, whether you want to stop, cut back, or simply understand your patterns.

When you join, you’re matched with a care specialist who builds your plan with you on your first call. Day to day, you track in the app, follow a weekly plan, and talk with Sona whenever you need to. Your care team sees how things are going and adjusts with you. When it helps, medication is part of your plan, prescribed by a clinician on your care team.

app was hot garbage, for quitting cigarettes. I'm not super into meditation and all that, which was a turn off to begin with, but the big turn off was how there is no nuance. my husband smokes and has no interest in quitting, the app was helping a little bit until a lesson required that I remove all lighters from the house. there is no way to skip lessons per se, I would just have to lie and say I removed them but it just made me so mad I never opened the app again. chantix works better.

Please add options for editing past data entries. I didn't understand how important historical data was, such as logging cigarettes before my quit date. As such, when my quit date arrived, there weren't any points of reference from when I was smoking. I messed up my first few check-ins & the only option was to delete them. I couldn't go back and edit the info so It appeared that I had slipped up and smoked when really I hadn't. Now I just want to grab some cigs and start over, but Iim not. Ugh!

The app hardly works as expected. Modules don't appear as completed after doing them 5+ times. The modules are identical which doesn't feel like it's tailored to what you are trying to quit. it gets repetitive doing the same exact module on one vice to the other. If this wasn't covered by insurance I'd rate it 1* because it's not worth paying for out of pocket.
