SaVida Health provides outpatient opioid and alcohol addiction treatment services. Our care model includes the use of FDA-approved addiction treatment medications, counseling, comprehensive toxicology testing, and case management. Every day, more than 130 Americans die as a result of opioid overdose. An additional 88,000 Americans die from alcohol-related deaths each year. In August, 2017, Council Capital - a healthcare-focused private equity firm located in Nashville, Tennessee - made a control investment in SaVida Health and recruited an experienced healthcare services CEO to manage operations. We are developing the capability to expand at a rapid pace in order to meet the needs of patients suffering from opioid and alcohol addiction.
