ALEF Behavioral Group launches Covid-19 Relief Campaign for opioid addicted individuals in Reidsville, North Carolina
A "Dollar-A-Day" Supports Recovery Efforts as Public Health Crisis Collides with Global Pandemic
REIDSVILLE, N.C., April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The leading Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) in the State of North Carolina launched its response to the current pandemic with Covid-19 Relief Campaign supporting addiction recovery efforts with "Dollar-a-Day" pricing for the duration of the outbreak. Alef Behavioral is offering their program's services for $1 a day including patient's daily dose of Methadone, Suboxone or Buprenorphine.
Dr. Ron Flack, the Program Sponsor for ALEF Behavioral Group said "This is an especially trying time for our specific population who are fighting the parallel battle of addiction to opioids and now the novel Coronavirus. We are committed to helping everyone in our community that is sick and suffering from the disease of addiction. We understand the havoc Covid-19 has put on our local economy and as a company want to do the absolute most we can to ensure every community member that needs treatment receives the care they so desperately need. We know many of our Reidsville families have lost jobs and valuable incomes."
Alef's innovative, specialized approach treats not only addiction, but the whole person and the underlying issues that contribute to dependence. Patients receive individual, group and family therapy and over 20 other evidence-based therapy modalities. Alef goes even further to aid the patient recovery process by implementing holistic recovery methodologies into each patient's individualized treatment plan, reinforced with a referral network and case management services which aids job preparation and placement.
