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.
Is detox part of what River Valley Health offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Knoxville, under a mile away.
What special programs does River Valley Health offer?
They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Knoxville does.
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.
What else is near River Valley Health?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Knoxville, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Which medications does River Valley Health prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Knoxville, not all of them do.
What does stepping down look like?
The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. The free meetings listed in Knoxville are worth finding before you need them.
Can I keep taking my prescriptions in treatment?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
