Questions people ask about Spero Health
Is Spero Health inpatient or outpatient?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Metropolis is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Spero Health offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Paducah offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Is there a residential program at Spero Health?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Paducah.
Is Spero Health an option for someone over 65?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Paducah.
What is there in Paducah that costs nothing?
Paducah has 49 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Spero Health?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Paducah offers both.
What if there is depression or anxiety as well?
A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. Not every center has a prescriber for psychiatric medication, and that is a concrete difference to ask about. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.
What if this is not the first time?
Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Ask what this program does differently from the one you tried before.
