Avenues To Wellness
About Avenues To Wellness
Avenues To Wellness is a psychiatric and substance use recovery clinic in Roanoke, Virginia. They can also help you overcome dually diagnosed substance use and mental health disorders. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use recovery and psychiatric medication management to address common psychiatric conditions like depression.
They’re located in the Old Southwest historic district, about a mile north of the Roanoke River Greenway and southwest of the Taubman Museum of Art and the Virginia Museum of Transportation. Many past clients speak highly of their experience, especially noting how supportive and attentive the staff were throughout their recovery.
Telehealth Support & Low-cost Recovery
Avenues To Wellness provides comprehensive telemedicine to optimize convenience. Telehealth lets you attend therapy from the comfort of your home. They ensure access to care by accepting Medicaid and Virginia Medicaid, Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans, and TRICARE Select alongside several private insurances. They also strive to maintain a serene and conducive atmosphere in their onsite locations for those who prefer in-person service.
Integrated & Personalized Recovery Support
MAT pairs counseling with FDA-approved medication to facilitate whole-person recovery. The clinic offers thorough psychiatric assessments alongside treatment planning. Clients with primary opioid use issues are prescribed addiction medicine to curb cravings and eliminate painful withdrawal symptoms. They also attend counseling to take care of underlying issues and build coping skills.
Those with dual-diagnosed conditions also receive psychiatric medication management as part of an integrated care plan to ensure holistic wellness. The clinic uses SPRAVATO nasal spray with an oral antidepressant to tackle treatment-resistant depression and symptoms in adults. If you’re dealing with this type of co-occurring condition alongside opioid use issues, you’ll receive focused care to help you heal.
