About Carilion Clinic Saint Albans Hospital
Carilion New River Valley Medical Center used to be called Carilion Saint Albans Hospital. They’re in Christiansburg, Virginia, and have primary care services. Two specialities are their psychiatry and behavioral health department and addiction services, which are available for adults and minors.
The addiction program is an outpatient service. This means there aren’t any overnight stays, but you might qualify for an inpatient stay in the psychiatric department. For addictions, a case management team is made up of psychologists, nurses and counselors. They’ll use a combo of meds and group therapy to help with cravings while helping you create the foundation for a substance free life.
The psychiatry and behavioral health department has inpatient programs for adults and kids. They tackle underlying health disorders that can fuel your addictions. There’s also electroconvulsive therapy, trauma counseling, and parenting classes to build your relationships and confidence. There’re special tracks for pregnant women and seniors. If need be, they can refer you to other Carilion clinics for acute care.
In both departments, telemedicine is available if you’re not able to be there in person.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient rehabs offer community-based addiction treatment, enabling clients to remain in their homes while in recovery. Their levels of care typically include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, and sober living programming. Most outpatient facilities offer addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative programs include evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, music therapy, and massage. Facilities specializing in alcohol and/or opioid addiction may also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Inpatient Rehab
Clients who are in early recovery, leaving detox, or experiencing a crisis often require the intensive treatment of an inpatient rehab facility. Clients in inpatient care receive robust clinical supervision, housing, and meals, allowing them to focus exclusively on their recovery while they stabilize. The primary treatment modalities used in most inpatient centers include extensive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many drug rehabs also offer holistic therapies, such as music, art, fitness, and experiential therapies.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Virginia is a short term form of talk therapy. Participants usually have homework between sessions, which may include journaling, self talk, and setting SMART goals. The aim is to transform negative thought patterns into positive ones.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
For those experiencing mental health challenges, including substance use disorder, dialectical behavior therapy in Virginia offers an evidence based method of treatment. This therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal relations so you can break free from negative patterns.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Family Therapy
Family therapists work with all members of the family to understand the roles they play in the addiction dynamic. Addressing these patterns is crucial to developing healthier ways to interact and support each other, as well as contributing to a more effective recovery for their loved ones.
