About Spero Health – Richmond (KY)
Spend enough time around Richmond, Virginia, and you’ll find one of Spero Health’s outpatient clinics. They provide treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, with a specialty in addressing opioid use disorder. One of the ways they achieve this is through medication assisted treatment, but their approach is multipronged.
Their individualized treatment plans focus on the physical and mental health sides of addiction, which you may find more comprehensive than those that don’t. They also accept Medicaid alongside private insurance plans, so hopefully you’ll find them accessible.
Expansive Support
What I like most about this clinic is how comprehensive their support is. In addition to treating you for substance use disorder, staff can lend a hand in other areas of your life that may have been impacted by addiction. Housing, education and work are only three of these areas, but they’re important for stability in recovery.
While treatment might be enough for some, others may need additional support in order to sustain their recovery. These services do just that, ensuring you’re as prepared as possible to live a healthy, sober life when treatment ends.
Helping One Another
This program also includes a peer support option alongside counseling. These groups allow people in recovery to share their experiences, offering comfort and advice.
I think peer support is a nice supplement to treatment because you can attend them whenever you like with no commitment. Plus they introduce you to so many different perspectives that you’re bound to walk away with a broader view of your addiction and recovery.
Staying occupied is one of the best ways to maintain your sobriety and lower the risk of relapse. Simply spending your downtime learning is a great way to do this. In that regard, Richmond is home to many museums, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Virginia Museum of History and Culture, where you can expand your horizons whenever you like.

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. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. 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.
