About Spero Health

Spero Health has a location in Nashville, Tennessee. They provide outpatient counseling services for adults who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. They also treat co-occurring disorders including depression and anxiety.

Here, they conduct their therapy by using something they refer to as “the power of three.” This philosophy fuses physician services, counseling, and recovery support services to help those seeking recovery. They take an individualized approach to recovery and will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

They use evidence-based therapies to help you break free from substance use disorder (SUD). Some of the services they provide include individual and group counseling and life skills training as well as medication assisted treatment, or MAT. You’ll also have access to social services, recovery support, and peer-based meetings.

Their MAT program is designed to alleviate some of the physical symptoms of withdrawal. It can also help curb cravings and minimize your risk of relapse. At this location, some of the FDA approved addiction medications they use include Suboxone, Subutex, Vivitrol, and others. If your providers believe that you’d benefit from methadone instead then they may direct you to a clinc that offers that medication.

There’s a robust aftercare program here and they’ll connect you to resources that can help you find employment and housing when your treatment is complete.

This facility gets lots of positive feedback from former patients. In fact, more than 90% of them reported feeling both satisfied and more positive after undergoing treatment.

My experience is the virtual side of spero,but it was a great place until new staff. It takes 1 hr and half to 2 hrs to get anything done and that's if they give you credit for counseling then you gotta start all over.

This is an update to my review from a year ago. I tried a different treatment facility recently and was treated like most people in society treat addicts - like a lost cause. I decided to come back to Spero and Shae got me an appointment for the very next day!! They treat you like a human being and not just $$. I m a single mother and on days I can t get a babysitter they happily let my child come with me. It s like one big family and I m so blessed to be a part of it. People who are complaining about the financial aspect, please remember this is still a business and people have to be paid to do their job and keep the place running. What they charge is nothing compared to all the money I spent when I was in active addiction. After being there 3 years I still stand by my 5 star rating.The staff is absolutely amazing!! Without Shae, that place would be lost bc she goes above and beyond to help people in recovery. Doug, my counselor is awesome too. I recently started seeing Dr. Ross and cannot say enough great things about him. He treats you like a person rather than just another addict and he truly wants to see his patients succeed. As long as you do what you re supposed to do, they will help you stay sober. The only complaints I have are that I wish there was a location closer to my side of town (West Nashville). Coming here was one of the best things I ever did for myself and now I have been sober for almost 2 years!! It works if you work it (I m so not the type to use clichs or anything but for real)

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive care without leaving their home, workplace, and community. Clients typically receive intensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Many programs promote clients' long-term sobriety through recovery-focused life skills training and ancillary services, such as peer coaching. Medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, are common in outpatient care. Most facilities offer multiple levels of care to accommodate clients' evolving needs, including intensive outpatient (IOP) and standard outpatient programming.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehabs are designed principally for clients who require intensive supervision and support, including clients who have just completed detox, clients in early recovery, and clients at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment helps clients stabilize following detox and prepares them to step-down into outpatient and/or community-based care. Clients reside at the facility for the duration of their program and engage in extensive addiction counseling and education. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically have abstained from drugs or alcohol for a period of weeks or months and have completed high-level (often inpatient) treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they re-engage with their ordinary lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Services are highly individualized and evolve with clients' changing needs, but generally include peer coaching and relapse prevention.
12-step icon12-Step
When enrolld in an addiction recovery program that's based on the 12 step model, clients are able to cultivate recovery-focused life skills emphasizing spiritual, mental, and emotional healing. Participants receive intensive peer support in 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available day and night in most communities. Self-selected sponsors guide sponsees through the recovery journey, cultivating self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, participants aren't required to be religiously affiliated.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in Tennessee, also known as a halfway house, refers to a group residence for men or women who are recovering from addiction. These are usually privately owned homes or houses owned by a nonprofit or business. Most are located in quiet residential areas. Residents have their own rooms or share a room with one roommate, and they share common areas. Each resident pays rent and helps with household maintenance.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
To keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification process, a medically assisted detox provides you with a team of medical professionals who can provide the necessary medications to treat any potential withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly stopping chronic abuse of substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Typical cognitive behavioral therapy in Tennessee involves recognizing negative thinking and learning techniques to change that thinking and create new, positive behaviors. Strategies may include SMART goals, journaling, and situation exposure.

Counseling in Tennessee that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach can last from six to 12 months. During that time, you'll develop skills in the areas of distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

In Tennessee, group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction typically involve skill development to help you learn communication techniques and relapse prevention strategies. These strategies support your transition into the community and help you maintain long term sobriety.

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.

If you participate in motivational interviewing in Tennessee, your therapist will focus on four key strategies: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. Rather than confront or warn you to change, the clinician will allow you to explore your own motivations and decide what changes you may need to make in your life.

Trauma therapy is a safe place to work through the lingering effects of traumatic events in your life. Your therapist will help you understand the physical and emotional responses that can develop after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. You then work toward developing healthier coping mechanisms to reduce your symptoms.

While engaged in couples therapy in Tennessee, you'll learn how to trust, communicate, forgive, and manage emotions. Developing these skills can be beneficial at any time during the relationship, but they are particularly crucial when facing life challenges.

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.

Life skills training teaches you how to cope with challenging situations in non destructive ways. This crucial piece of drug rehab in Tennessee gives you tools for decision making, relationship building, and self care.

They never have your medication when they’re supposed to, they won’t answer the phone, it’s insane I live a hour away and will drive to my scheduled appointment and they won’t have my shot so then i have to reschedule my work again to come back. It’s the same junk every month. It’s insane.

This MAT program has completely changed my life. I’ve never encountered a more compassionate, dedicated, and supportive team. Every single staff member—and I mean every one of them—has met me exactly where I’m at, with no judgment, only kindness and understanding. There have been days when I was struggling, really on the edge, and they let me stay in the office just so I could feel safe until the urge passed. They’ve jumped through hoops for me, again and again, and never gave up on me—not once. Words can’t fully express what this place has done for me. They’ve helped me stay clean and sober when I didn’t think it was possible. I truly believe there’s something spiritually special about this clinic. It’s more than just a program—it’s a lifeline. I thank God for each and every person here. They are a godsend and they are doing big, powerful things in the lives of people like me. I don’t know where I’d be without them. Forever grateful.

They don’t answer the phone for new appointments. I was on hold for ever and it said I was the 3rd person in line then when I sat on the phone for 15 mins i finally got to 1st place and sent to voicemail then I called again and was 5th in line stayed on for like 20 mins and same thing. I then called and pressed 1 for regular patients and the lady on the phone was very rude when I told her I was trying to make a appointment as a new patient and told me not to call #1 again and to keep calling till I got an answer..
