About Spero Health

Spero Health is an outpatient addiction treatment provider with a clinic in Roanoke, Virginia, part of a CARF-accredited network of more than 75 clinics across six states. They focus mainly on opioid use disorder, including addiction to fentanyl, heroin, and prescription painkillers, and they also treat alcohol and other substance use disorders. Care follows American Society of Addiction Medicine guidelines and brings medical providers, counselors, and care coordinators together as one team, so patients can keep living at home and stay on top of work, school, and family. Levels of care include standard outpatient visits, an intensive outpatient program at many locations, and telehealth for eligible Virginia residents.

Medication-assisted treatment is central to their model, with options that include daily Suboxone, monthly Sublocade injections, weekly or monthly Brixadi, and Vivitrol, a non-opioid injection that can also help with alcohol cravings. Medication is always paired with individual and group counseling, plus recovery support that helps patients find employment, housing, child care, legal help, and transportation, along with wellness programming on smoking cessation, sleep, and nutrition. Patients typically come in more often during early recovery and then visit less frequently as they stabilize, and accountability is built in through medication counts, urine drug testing, and prescription monitoring. Same-day appointments are often available, and they accept Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance.
