Opioid Addiction in Jefferson County, KY

What Happens When You Start Opioid Treatment
During the first stage of your opioid treatment program at BrightView, you’ll undergo an assessment with a clinician to determine the best course of action for your unique situation.
An assessment includes:
- Health history – You’ll have to give the intake specialist information about any physical or mental health conditions.
- Opioid use history – You will also share the type of opioid you prefer and the frequency of your use.
- Physical exam – An accurate reading of your current physical health will tell the treatment team how to help you.
- Treatment plan formulation – The previous steps will give the clinician the necessary information to devise the best possible treatment plan for you.
From here, if you agree to the treatment plan presented to you by the clinician, you’ll be on the road to recovery.
