LONG ISLAND OPIOID CRISIS: DR. PAOLO COPPOLA OF VICTORY RECOVERY PARTNERS IS AVAILABLE FOR INSIGHT AND QUESTIONS
Opioid addiction on Long Island is affecting our communities at a staggering level, and the Long Island area reportedly has the highest rates of overdose in New York State. From September 2017 to September 2018, there were nearly 1,000 opioid overdoses in Suffolk County alone. Opioid addiction impacts individuals from all walks of life: old and young, rich and poor, and all ethnicities. Victory Recovery Partners is here to help.
Victory Recovery Partners (VRP) is a comprehensive outpatient treatment center based in Suffolk County. VRP has created a systematic approach to treating substance use disorder, tailored to the needs of each individual patient. A team of highly qualified addiction medicine experts and board-certified physicians will collectively develop a treatment program consisting of physician visits, medication-assisted treatment, behavioral health therapy. These services are available for both patients and family members.
VRP strives to eliminate the stigma of drug addiction by providing an environment that is supportive and affordable. Many treatment centers are time-consuming and expensive. Alternately, VRP has designed a program which is accepted by most insurance plans and provides discreet, convenient, comprehensive care.
Dr. Paolo Coppola of Victory Recovery Partners is available for interviews in person or via phone to answer questions about VRP’s services and opioid addiction.
