About Spero Health

Spero Health in Richlands, Virginia, is part of a network of outpatient addiction clinics across six states, with a focus on opioid use disorder and other substance use problems. Their model follows American Society of Addiction Medicine guidelines and brings medical care, counseling, and recovery support together under one roof, so patients can stay at home and keep up with work, school, and family. Care levels include standard outpatient treatment and an intensive outpatient program, though IOP is not available at every location. Eligible Virginia residents can also receive care through telehealth, and they accept Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance.

Medication-assisted treatment is central to their approach, with options that include Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi, and Vivitrol, which can also help with alcohol cravings. Medication is always paired with individual or group counseling and recovery support services that help with employment, housing, child care, legal issues, and transportation, along with wellness programming on topics like smoking cessation, sleep, and nutrition. Patients usually come in more often during early recovery, and visits become less frequent as they stabilize. To keep treatment on track, they use medication counts, urine drug screens, and prescription monitoring.
