Our Approach to Treatment

Spero Health provides local, affordable, comprehensive outpatient care—all under one roof—designed to meet each individual where they are in their recovery journey. Our approach focuses on treating opioid and other substance use disorders through coordinated, patient-centered care that supports both immediate stability and long-term recovery.

A Whole-Person, Individualized Approach

We recognize that no two people experience substance use disorder in the same way. That’s why treatment at Spero Health is built around the individual—not a one-size-fits-all model. Care plans are developed with flexibility, allowing treatment to evolve over time as a person’s needs, goals, and circumstances change.

Integrated Care

Our model brings multiple aspects of care together in a single, coordinated setting. By integrating clinical services, recovery support, and care coordination, we reduce barriers to treatment and make it easier for individuals to stay engaged in care while continuing daily responsibilities such as work, school, and family life.

This integrated approach has been shown to improve outcomes for individuals seeking treatment for opioid and other substance use disorders.

Evidence-Informed, Recovery-Focused Care

Spero Health’s approach is grounded in evidence-informed practices that support recovery as a long-term process. Treatment is designed to promote stability, reduce risk, and help individuals build sustainable routines that support lasting recovery.

When appropriate, medication may be incorporated as part of a broader treatment plan, alongside clinical care and recovery support services. The use of medication is carefully considered and tailored to each individual, recognizing that recovery looks different for every person.

Care Rooted in Community

Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. Spero Health works within the communities we serve, helping individuals connect to local resources and ongoing support. By providing accessible outpatient care close to home, we aim to strengthen continuity of care and support individuals beyond the walls of the clinic.

An emphasis on accountability

The key to recovery is the strong partnerships we form with our patients. A major part of our responsibility is to keep patients engaged and hold them accountable through counseling, medication counts, urine drug testing and prescription monitoring.

Additional support for those who need it

We want all patients to get off to the right start in treatment. Depending on the individual treatment plan, some patients may require more services more frequently at the outset to help navigate the daunting, everyday challenges of early recovery. These visits will include a combination of counseling, recovery support services and physician services. Frequency of visits will be evaluated based on the specific needs of each patient, but will become less frequent as time goes by and patients become more stable in their recovery.
