The Cost of Doing Nothing

Excessive Drinking Quietly Drains Productivity and Your Plan.

Most of the cost of alcohol never shows up as a bar tab. It shows up as absence, lost focus, higher claims, and turnover, and the majority of it lands on employers.

Why It Works

Willpower Fades After a Hard Day. This Changes the Habit.

Drinking becomes an automatic response to stress, social pressure, and routine. Avidon helps employees see the cues behind the urge, interrupt them, and build habits that hold, whether they want to cut back, drink mindfully, or take a break.

🧠

Targets the real trigger

Cognitive behavioral training gets underneath the drinking to the stress, cues, and beliefs driving the urge, so employees change the pattern, not just the drink count.

🎯

Meets every employee where they are

Most of your workforce isn't ready to change today. The program engages people at every stage of change, including the majority who are only starting to consider it.

Inside the Program

What Your Employees Actually Experience.

Understand: Employees identify the cues and routines that drive their cravings, so they know exactly what they're working with.

Learn: Short lessons explain how drinking habits form in the brain and why urges feel automatic, which takes the self-blame out of it.

Practice: They build mindful-drinking practices, supportive self-talk, and stress-management techniques.

Sustain: Tools and reminders help them stay consistent through social events, stress, and emotional triggers.

What Participants Say.

I haven't had a drink in almost two years thanks to this program. I was very skeptical when I first took it, but I'm very pleased with the results.

Male, 50–59

I wasn't looking to completely cut out drinking, and I didn't. But now I understand why I reach for it, and I'm drinking far less than I used to.

Male, 50–59

“

Thanks so much for a great program! It helped me reset my relationship with alcohol and make healthier choices without feeling judged.

Female, 50–59

Common Questions

Alcohol & Moderation Programs for Employers, Answered.

How much does an alcohol moderation program cost per employee?

Avidon is priced as an enterprise-level platform at small-business rates. Business plans start at $35/month for the full wellness platform, not just alcohol and moderation, so you get every behavior-change topic in one subscription with no hidden implementation fees. See pricing.

Does the program require employees to quit drinking completely?

No. It's built around moderation, so employees can set their own goal, whether that's drinking less, drinking more mindfully, or taking a break. Meeting people where they are is a big reason it works: in the study, 93% met the alcohol objectives they set for themselves, without an all-or-nothing demand to quit.

Does it support Dry January or sober-curious employees?

Yes. The program fits employees anywhere on the spectrum, from a short reset like Dry January to a longer sober-curious stretch or lasting moderation. Challenges Autopilot makes it easy to run a themed challenge, such as a January reset, while the underlying lessons help the change outlast the month instead of snapping back afterward.

Does it work alongside medication like naltrexone?

Yes. Medication such as naltrexone can reduce cravings, but it doesn't build the habits and coping skills that keep drinking in check over the long term. Avidon addresses the triggers, routines, and beliefs underneath, so it complements medical treatment rather than competing with it. Employees who need clinical care are always encouraged to seek it.

How quickly can we launch it?

Minutes, not months. Avidon is a true SaaS platform: getting started is self-serve, so you sign up, configure, invite your team, and most organizations are live the same day, with no implementation calls.

Will employees actually use it?

Adoption is the most common worry, and it's what the methodology is built for. Most of your workforce isn't ready to act yet, so the program engages the roughly 80% in earlier stages of change, not just the ready few. Challenges Autopilot launches a fresh challenge every month automatically, and automated reminders keep members coming back, with no admin work. Engagement compounds, too: in a controlled study of 300 non-incentivized participants, pairing coaching with our technology more than doubled program completion, from 17% to 36%.

How do you measure results and ROI?

Reporting shows enrollment, participation, and progress so you can demonstrate results to leadership. In Avidon's alcohol study of 2,000+ participants, 93% met their alcohol objectives and 91% would recommend the program. You can explore the full efficacy & outcomes data here.

Is the program secure and compliant?

Yes. Avidon is HIPAA compliant and certified to ISO 27001 and GDPR standards, so employee health data is protected and your benefits and compliance teams have the documentation they need.

Does it work for remote and shift workers?

Yes. The program is fully digital and available on any device, with content in 14 languages. Remote staff, shift workers, and frontline employees get the same support without needing to be on site or online at a set time.
