About Intentional Longevity
Intentional Longevity, doing business as Katharos Sanctuary, operates an outpatient opioid treatment program on North Louisiana Avenue in west Asheville, North Carolina. The clinic occupies Suites D-3 and D-4 at 370 North Louisiana Avenue, in Buncombe County, serving residents of Asheville and surrounding communities in western North Carolina. The program is structured around medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder paired with counseling, with the broader clinical goal of supporting long-term recovery rather than short-term symptom relief.
The clinic is certified by the state as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) and is CARF-accredited. As an OTP, Intentional Longevity is authorized to dispense FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder within a regulated, monitored clinical environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the primary counseling modality, and treatment plans are individualized to each patient’s history, severity of use, and recovery goals. Telehealth services are available for select follow-up visits.
The Asheville clinic explicitly serves pregnant women and individuals living with HIV/AIDS as priority populations. Pregnant women face barriers to specialized opioid treatment, and medication-assisted treatment is the medically recommended approach during pregnancy when opioid use disorder is present. The clinic’s willingness to accept these populations – and the structural infrastructure of an OTP that can coordinate medication safely during pregnancy – is meaningful for the local treatment landscape. Co-occurring disorders and dual-diagnosis presentations are within the program’s clinical scope.
Intentional Longevity accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay. The clinic does not appear to publish a public-facing brand-specific website at this time, so prospective patients are encouraged to call directly to discuss intake, scheduling, and payment options. The main phone line for the Asheville clinic is (828) 412-3688. Because OTP regulations require initial in-person evaluation and supervised dosing, prospective patients should plan for a structured intake visit before treatment begins.
