About SperoHealth

SperoHealth in Columbus, Ohio, is part of the Spero Health network, an outpatient addiction treatment provider that specializes in opioid use disorder, including fentanyl, heroin, and prescription painkiller addiction, while also treating other substance use disorders. Their integrated model follows American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) guidelines and places medical care, counseling, and recovery support under one roof, so patients can keep living at home and managing work, school, and family. Levels of care include standard outpatient treatment, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for people who need more structure, and telehealth visits for eligible patients in Ohio and five neighboring states. The network is CARF accredited, accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance, and can often see new patients the same or next day.

Medication-assisted treatment is central to their care, with providers prescribing and monitoring Suboxone, the Sublocade and Brixadi long-acting buprenorphine injections, and Vivitrol, which can also help reduce alcohol cravings. Medication is always paired with individual and group counseling, and patients often have more frequent visits early on that taper as they stabilize. Recovery support staff help with practical needs like employment, housing, child care, legal services, and transportation, alongside wellness programming in smoking cessation, sleep hygiene, and nutrition. To keep patients engaged and accountable, they use medication counts, urine drug testing, and prescription monitoring.
