The disorder of this organization affects the communication between patients and medical staff because is deficient. The place seems to me literally like a jail, you can't do anything without them ordering it, it's horrible.

Birth experience in 2024 was great. Birth experience in 2026 not so great.
This may be a longer review, but I want to be as specific and fair as possible about my experience.
For context, I gave birth to my second child at this hospital. As I did with my first delivery, I chose to labor and deliver without an epidural or other pain management interventions. I felt confident in this decision because I was familiar with my body’s cues and knew when it was time to push based on my contractions and the natural progression of labor.
Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Kim Marie Freeman during active labor was disappointing. At a time when I needed support and encouragement, I felt rushed through the process. It seemed as though my labor was being treated as an inconvenience rather than a significant and intensely personal experience.
What was particularly discouraging was being told to do something during labor and then being laughed at when I was unable to do it immediately. Labor is physically and emotionally demanding, and those interactions felt insensitive and dismissive. Rather than feeling supported, I felt pressured and unheard.
That said, I want to emphasize that the rest of my experience at the hospital was excellent. The nurses, patient care staff, lactation consultants, room service team, and everyone else I interacted with were exceptional. They were attentive, informative, compassionate, and mindful of my needs throughout my stay. Their professionalism and care made a very positive difference in my overall experience.
While I am grateful for the outstanding care provided by the hospital staff as a whole, my interaction with Dr. Freeman significantly impacted what should have been a positive birth experience.

Hi Angela, thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that your hospital stay was a positive experience. Dr. Freeman is a provider with Women’s Health Services of Central Virginia, we will send your feedback to them.
Very nice people, helped as much as they could.
I had a procedure at VBH, and Dr. John Hickman and the entire team. . .anesthesiologist, RNs, volunteers, parking/check-in. . .were the best! They were all very knowledgeable, professional, caring, and friendly; they listened and answered; and they made my experience there so pleasant. Thank you! I would give them all an A+

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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).
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.
Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
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.
Trauma therapy helps you understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing traumatic events. Using therapeutic interventions, your therapist works with you to reframe that experience, which in turn reduces your anxiety and helps you regain control over your life.
