Dr. Katherine Alconcel champions Jovive Health Care success stories and holistic healing with its MAT program

In the heart of Henderson, Jovive Health Care stands as a cornerstone of healing and empowerment. Led by Medical Director Dr. Katherine Alconcel, this center features comprehensive primary and urgent care services. It also goes beyond traditional medical care, offering a lifeline to those seeking recovery and self-empowerment through its accessible and confidential Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program.

“We believe opioid addiction should be treated with the same compassion, support, and convenience as other areas of medicine, empowering patients to get back to living life," states Dr. Alconcel. “This compassion they will receive from the providers and staff at Jovive Health is critical to those who may be living in shame or fear. Recovery is possible.”

This innovative program offers same-day access to medication-assisted treatment with FDA-approved buprenorphine/naloxone, strategically located within the practice. Beyond alleviating withdrawal symptoms and curbing cravings, Jovive Health's approach enables individuals to embrace life again.

"We've witnessed remarkable success stories," Dr. Alconcel shares. "Like a talented chef, once shackled by opioid use, now a year into recovery and pursuing culinary dreams without the weight of addiction. Another patient, after 12 years of opioid use for chronic pain, is now opioid-free for 8 months, reveling in a life unencumbered by narcotics."

A patient echoes the sentiment, emphasizing the exceptional care and dedication received from Dr. Alconcel and the team: "Jovive Health is undeniably your best healthcare choice. Their expertise and dedication make the journey towards wellness worthwhile."

The MAT program not only addresses physical dependence but also fosters a renewed sense of self-worth and self-love. By stabilizing health, reducing stigma, restoring control, and facilitating personal growth, Jovive Health empowers individuals to embrace life beyond addiction. Dr. Alconcel reiterates, "We are here as your guide, confidant, and medical providers, dedicated to aiding you in your journey towards recovery."
