Questions people ask about River Valley Health
Which levels of care does River Valley Health have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Alcoa is set up for.
Is detox part of what River Valley Health offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Maryville, 3.6 miles away.
Is River Valley Health an option for someone under 18?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Alcoa has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Is there anything in Alcoa besides paid treatment?
Alcoa has 58 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.
Is telehealth available at River Valley Health?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Alcoa differ on it.
How many other options are in this area?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Alcoa, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
How does medication fit into treatment?
For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. If a specific medication matters to you, ask for it by name rather than asking about medication in general.
What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?
Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
