About Spero Health – Barbourville
Spero Health Inc. is one of the nation’s leading groups dedicated to helping communities caught in the grips of opiate addiction. In Barbourville, Kentucky, you’ll find one of the many locations from which they can help give you individualized outpatient treatment that works, particularly if you’re facing addiction to opiates, stimulants, or alcohol.
Their goal is to provide the best possible care at the lowest possible cost, meaning that they will accept patients using Medicaid to cover their care.
Outpatient Care With a Holistic Focus
Their outpatient approach is centered on giving each patient a path to sobriety that’s tailored to fit them best. For many facing addiction to these substances, this path includes the use of medications that dampen the effects of withdrawals and cravings associated with recovery.
Their medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is combined with individual counseling, giving you a chance to face down and overcome unhealthy habits and thought patterns under your counselor’s guidance. The individual contact time also ensures that the treatment you receive stays relevant to your place in your recovery journey.
Putting You In Charge of Your Life
Their recovery model includes group therapy and peer support. These sessions put you in contact with people who’ve been through a similar recovery process.
One of the best parts of their approach is that they help you access physical healthcare services as well as social services. By helping you interact with a doctor who can prescribe the medication you need, or by getting you into a job training program, Spero Health’s approach goes beyond treating the addiction itself by also tending to environmental factors that make breaking free so much harder.
As a result, they often get great testimonials, with patients going so far as to say that they’ve regained full control of their lives thanks to Spero Health’s program.

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment.

Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
