Questions people ask about River Valley Health
What levels of care 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.
Does River Valley Health offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is under a mile away in Knoxville.
Is there a residential program at River Valley Health?
Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Knoxville has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.
Is there anywhere else close by?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Knoxville, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Which medications does River Valley Health prescribe?
They prescribe 1 medication: naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Knoxville.
What do I say when I call?
It starts with a short assessment: the substance, the pattern, your health, and where you live. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
How long will I be away?
The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask whether detox time counts inside the program length or is added to it.
Is there a waiting list?
It depends on the level of care and on the week, which is why only a phone call can answer it. A list quoted in weeks can shorten without warning, so being reachable matters. Ask what the fastest route into treatment is this week, and take that answer seriously.
