Programs
Substance Use Recovery
Treated as a medical condition, coordinated with everything else, and never a reason to be turned away from care.
What is available
Through established partner treatment programs, and coordinated by us:
- Medically supervised detoxification
- Medication-assisted treatment
- Individual and group therapy, inpatient and outpatient
- Ongoing recovery support after the acute phase ends — which is when most programs stop and most relapses happen
- Coordination with VA substance use services for eligible veterans
Our position on opioids
This has to be said plainly, because the field is full of programs that say the opposite in careful language. Our clinical leadership’s practice is built on reducing opioid burden. We do not market to opioid-seeking intent, and we are not a source of continuing supply. If you are on a high dose and want off it, that is work we understand and support. If you are looking for a prescriber who will simply continue it, we are not that.
Why substance use is not a disqualifier
People with active substance use are routinely excluded from medical care, from housing, and from the programs designed to help them — and then the exclusion is cited as evidence they were not serious. Active use does not disqualify you from being assessed and treated here.
The metabolic piece
The same inflammatory and reward mechanisms that drive substance use also drive chronic pain, obesity and depression. Treating one while ignoring the others is how people cycle. See chronic pain and metabolic care.
Where treatment actually happens
Valor Medica does not operate an inpatient detox or residential treatment facility. Those services are delivered by partner programs; our role is assessment, referral, medical coordination and follow-through. Being clear about that is how you avoid sending someone somewhere that cannot take them.
Think this might be for you?
You do not need a referral and you do not need to prove anything first. Tell us what is happening and we will be honest about whether we can help.
