Mission and Values
Mission
Prevent 1 million people from hitting rock bottom.
What CYH is
Choose Your Horizon is a telemedicine platform for alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment. We offer a full-spectrum, stigma-free path to changing your relationship with alcohol: medication (naltrexone, GLP-1, ketamine), integrated coaching, and behavioral support — all from home, on your terms.
We are not a rehab. We are not a traditional program. We are the option for people who want to change but do not see themselves as "the kind of person who goes to rehab."
Non-negotiables
These apply to everything CYH builds or says:
Benefit-first. The hook is always what they gain — energy, sleep, focus, relationships, presence. Drinking less is the mechanism, not the headline.
No stigma, no clinical framing. The words "addict," "alcoholic," "AUD," "disorder," "abuse," "relapse" never appear in patient-facing copy. Use person-first, non-clinical language. See brand/funnel-language-guide.md for the full word replacement guide.
High-functioning, not broken. Our patients are capable, effective, and respected. We do not frame them as broken or in need of fixing. They are making a smart optimization.
Autonomy and privacy. Every CTA feels low-commitment and self-directed. "No pressure, just value." They should feel like they are choosing, not being enrolled.
Tone: Respectful, results-oriented, approachable, trustworthy. Never preachy. Never pitying. Never clinical.
What good looks like
A patient who came to CYH because they googled "pill to quit drinking," found a low-friction private path to naltrexone, changed their relationship with alcohol, and never once felt like they were in a program.
