About New Life For Adults and Youth

The Mercy House at New Life For Youth is a faith based alcohol and drug addiction recovery center in Richmond, Virginia. They exclusively serve women with a program based on love, accountability, and excellence rooted in Biblical teaching and God's love. This is a residential facility with modern amenities. Treatment at Mercy House focuses on empowering clients and finding their inner strength and value. Their approach aims to heal clients physically, spiritually, and mentally.

The Mercy House is for adult women from all walks of life who are struggling with substance abuse. Clients live in the house for the length of treatment, which lasts between 12 and 18 months, depending on need and progress. While living at Mercy House, staff monitors and supports clients to ensure safety and success.

Mercy House’s program helps women overcome addiction by overcoming the challenges that brought them to addiction by discovering God’s love. Treatment includes counseling, mentorship, case management, parenting education, vocational education, and a recovery curriculum. Clients engage with their treatment through classes delivered in a highly structured environment.

Women leave the Mercy House with a comprehensive set of life skills that will help them healthily deal with stressful triggers, become better parents, hold jobs, and live lives free from addiction.

IOP is considered the next step down from residential care. It’s ideal for clients who are stable enough that close monitoring isn’t required but still exhibit strong symptoms. New Life For Youth offers IOP care for men and women.

Clients do not live at a recovery home or facility for IOP. Instead, they visit the facility to receive treatment, which is offered on a flexible schedule to accommodate work and classes. IOP offers treatment in the form of individual and group therapy rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) modalities, with focuses on anger management, communication skills, and numerous specialty groups.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients in an intensive outpatient rehab (IOP) benefit from robust support but often do not require the high-level supervision and round-the-clock clinical care provided in an inpatient setting. Clients engage in multiple therapeutic sessions weekly, with most programs requiring between nine and 20 treatment hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehabs provide a wide array of evidence-based services, including addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

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.

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Being at the Mercy House has transformed my life. It has given me my family back. Most importantly it has given me a place to heal. Yes, 12 months is a long time but considering all the years I spent messing my life up it really isn t long enough, but it gave me a start. It has given me a foundation to begin the rest of my life. I am more than grateful for everything the leaders have done for me. They are understanding because most of them have been through this program themselves. They let you do YOUR program. Yes, there are rules and yes you work but I needed that structure and self-discipline in my life to be able to heal and grow. I praise God for letting me have the honor of coming to the Mercy House.

The Mercy House of New Life for Adults and Youth, is a great place where I have restored my relationship with my family. It is a very supportive and structured program. If you want your life to change, the best advice I can give is give this program a chance. I love being here and I am staying for the 6-month internship they offer as well. Twelve months was not long enough to reach the healing goal I am striving for.

This place is terrible. They have "clients" doing drugs. They kicked out someone ...dropped them off at a bus station without a ticket or money. Has no way to get home. They live over 3 hours away. And they did not notify anyone. I would give a -5 stars for this place. They call themselves "helping" those who are suffering and in need. Hypocrites
