Questions people ask about River Valley Health
What treatment does River Valley Health offer?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Knoxville has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Can you detox at River Valley Health?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Knoxville, about a mile away.
What other centers are nearby?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Knoxville, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Are there free support meetings in Knoxville?
Knoxville has 58 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does River Valley Health treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Knoxville.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.
Is there a sliding scale?
The number follows the level of care, and that is not something a listing page can judge for you. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask what the deposit is and whether any of it comes back if the program ends early.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Nothing should change without a prescriber looking at it, and a good program works that way. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.
