Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

When you enroll in drug rehab in Virginia, a treatment plan is designed by professional staff in order to help you overcome drug addiction and modify addictive behaviors. This may include evidence-based treatments, group and individual therapy, and relapse prevention.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Per the director as of today :" it always throws red flags when a patients family member or spouse contacts us to find out treatment and or medical about patient, it detremental to the patient I believe"Now keep in mind folks even with a medical info release the director has basically stated that anyone as a family member or spouse does not have any rights to know about how there loved ones are being treated at this facility and that a patients family member or spouse is automatically considered a threat or aggressive" ..This was the response I was given from the so called director She was automatically offended and irate the minute I mentioned to her that one of her employees was legally out of line. This company goes above and beyond to cover themselves from any legal liabilities or lawsuits.Human rights and civil commitment procedures does not apply to highlands community services either im guessing .Im sure the sheriffs dept has had appropriate CIT training as well from highlands , .

Had a mental breakdown and police brought me here against my will. Told me the consultation is free the 1st time and to be put in confinement around $500. I ended up sitting alone in a room and having casual conversation. No consultation or anything. Now I have a $547 bill with no information. I was told they can call me on a Monday at 8am and check in and even help me get therapy. And that didn't even happen. This place is a joke. With all due disrespect I hope your dog gets sick on your new shoes

If you are looking for help with ADHD or Autism, do not even call this place. Went through a whole intake and I know I have PTSD, but I also have a literal list I made that took me months of research to put together of why I believe I need this testing, also loads of my family is already diagnosed so it makes sense to look into it, especially since nothing else has ever fit and I finally got it narrowed down to two things to look into and I was told it s PTSD. Only found out from a different employee later that I was dismissed and made to feel like my concerns aren t worth being taken seriously because this place doesn t do the testing and instead of telling me that on the phone, they put me through an hour and half of someone constantly saying ok we only have an hour and a half and you keep getting off track (HMMM IS THAT YET ANOTHER SIGN I HAVE ADHD!!!) and then to tell me it s PTSD. I know I have PTSD, duh! So I don t know if they have a rule for intake that employees can t say ADHD or Autism, but it came across like that. It was like everytime I mentioned it she didn t hear me because it wasn t even acknowledged. I kept thinking ok she will address it at the end, nope. Never once said we can t do that testing. The amount of time and research and courage it took to even make that phone call only for it to fall on deaf ears. I seriously considered ending it that day after I got off the phone. I felt so many horrible things about myself because of the professional on the other end of the line. This was the second time I tried to get help there. I should never have called them. No mental health place has ever made me feel as awful about myself and the possibility of good mental health care as Highlands has. I m thankful and lucky my PCP knew of someone that does the testing I need.

Received exceptionally terrible care recently as a patient in Abingdon and Danville hospitals. Ha-lands as they are called is in my estimate an extremely dysfunctional and bureaucratic mess to the point of fraud/waste/abuse. Social workers and case workers assigned to me were an ever-rotating cast of incompetent actors.

Highlands has been a remarkable help for me and my family with tons of resources available and if they can't help with something, they will help you find someone who can! I also receive mental health services through highlands that has changed my life for the better dramatically! So grateful for highlands and their fantastic staff!

There is a shortage of mental health help in our area, but if you can help it, go anywhere but Highlands. There are probably a number of capable employees there, but their administration and business management is disgusting. Their practice puts profit in front of care.

Went seeking mental help, and they evaluated me. Told me I was fine and sent me on my way, 2 or 3 days later I ended up driving myself to a mental institution. And they evaluated me, and kept me for a week. So obviously I wasn't fine, in my opinion highlands is a joke. I would not recommend!
