A Flexible & Evidence-Based Program
SaVida Health's model is built on providing accessible, high-quality outpatient care. Their program allows individuals to receive life-saving treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders without having to leave their jobs, families, or communities. This flexible approach is designed to integrate recovery into daily life.
Length of Stay: Varies, based on individual need
The core of SaVida Health's service is its outpatient MAT program. This involves regular visits to the clinic for medical supervision and prescription management of FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol. This medical treatment is always paired with individual and group counseling sessions to address the behavioral aspects of addiction, providing a holistic path to recovery.
