Question iconWho Answers?

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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 iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
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.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a structured environment for intensive treatment of behavioral and substance use disorders. PHP treatment can consist of sessions ranging from 6-8 hours per day for an average of 90 days. You can often expect to engage in behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and receive medication. PHP treatment is often covered either fully or partially by insurance providers.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Virginia features a highly trained team of professionals to treat your physical, mental, and emotional needs. Doctors and nurses are available to prescribe and administer medications. Psychologists and counselors provide professional counseling. Other experts such as nutritionists and addiction specialists may also offer support. This 24/7, comprehensive care is designed to give you the support you need to begin a successful recovery.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Known as the first step of the addiction recovery process, medical detox is the removal of addictive drugs and alcohol from your body and helping manage physical withdrawal. Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting where you will be closely monitored by a team of medical professionals to ensure your maximum health and safety. Medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol may be administered if needed to alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. This process is typically at least partially covered by most insurance plans.

Treatments

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 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

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
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).
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Went here a few years ago for suicidal ideation. When I got there I was left in the room where they did paperwork for over 6 hours with just me and another patient. Then they finally decided to do our intake.When I finally got into the unit they didn t search my bag I brought in and I still had my ADD medication still on me after they took my bag and didn t search it after I got into the unit. For my bed I was not given a pillow but another patient heard I didn t get one and gave one to me. The nurses did not even try to get me one after I asked multiple times. I ended up coming out with more trauma than I came in with. Please do not go here. If it was possible I would leave a 0 star review

Let met start this by saying, I have been traumatized into being okay. I have realized that if I ever get depressed again, I'll be sent back to a state-ran facility, just like this one. Because of this, I have been doing very well; I am terrified to go back."Mental Hospitals," are holding facilities for the "insane." They don't actually help you, you're given 2 minutes a day with the doctors. Some of the more peaceful units have group therapy, but 2 South had *none. Given that you're legally required to go, I would expect them to help us? It was up to the patients to calm down other patients, when they had a mental health issue..You are woken up at 5:30 A.M, and doors are locked at 6 A.M. Need something? Too bad. Most of us were exhausted from our issues, so we slept on the dirty floor during the day. The unit is essentially a big box, with some chairs and playing cards. During the day, you're required to share *one bathroom. You are supposed to get daily outside time, gym time, and are supposed to eat 3 meals in the cafeteria; this is dependent on the staff being lazy or not. Bedroom's are opened at 9 P.M, and only then do you get privacy.I am transgender, and was put with another trans patient for the first 3 days. Everything was fine until she left, and they moved me to the "violent unit," because they wanted to put me in a single bed. The only unit with single beds was 2 South, the "violent unit."My first day, I had men cornering me and asking for blowjobs; the staff did nothing. The fighting was constant, the yelling was constant, the staff joking was constant; schizophrenic patients were left to themselves, and the staff joked when their issues showed. Because of the staff's negativity, the patients were amped up to 10 and wanted to fight over any and everything.In 2 South, we never got outside time or gym time; they cited the bad behavior of the few, but it was also their job to help said patients. We were lucky if we got to eat in the cafeteria.Around my 5th day, an older man came into the unit; he didn't have a grasp on reality, so the staff joked with him constantly. He ended up smearing the walls with feces every time he used the bathroom; because of this, our *one bathroom was always filthy. I only ever saw 2 different janitors, and they always took 20-30 minutes to clean the mess. The problem progressed to him wetting himself in a communal chair, and the staff laughing as he dripped all over the day-room.I still freak out when I hear screaming, because of this Hospital. I hate that my tax dollars go to this place, I hate that the government profits off this place, I hate that parents are tricked into sending their loved ones to this place.Poplar Springs is a state-ran prison for the "mentally insane." I wonder how most of these patients would be doing, if they received actual care..

My oldest was just released from here, was put on a med while there, and once discharged was just given a paper with a number on it to call and set up an appointment, no prescription no nothing.How do yall put people on medicine but then do not send out perscriptions to the pharmacy for said patient to have while waiting to make a psychiatrist appointment because you know how impossible it is to get same day or next day appointment so that means you start them on meds, discharge them with no meds and they have to fend for themselves. I was told yesterday well they had their dose for today but will need a dose tomorrow okay how do they get that dose when yall sent no prescription to the pharmacy for the meds?!? And I m 1000% sure missing any dosages this early will not help anything.You re supposed to help these adults/kids to the fullest with hope they won t be back, but with this way of dealing with these things, and not sending out meds, nor even the proper discharge stipulations, people will end up having to be hospitalized again. Absolutely ridiculous, and god forbid you try to call and chat with staff to find out wtf is going on, you get short answers, and the i don t care attitude I got yesterday.

Great Group Therapy by Sam, Kwazi, and CarrieThey have a mixture of GREAT staff also, like 007 (yes really), Mr. Justus, Ms. Sonia, Ms. Angela, Ms. Brandy, and others too that provide Respect and Treatment of needs during any stay. The Food Prep Team is AMAZING and they do provide an excellent diet tending meal. The furniture could be updated or 'softened' with some throw pillows perhaps to give a little bit more comfort to the patients. After 2 weeks in 1 N I was A) restored in my soul, Faith, and mental health and B) my body rear and back suffered a few days post-visit from the very limited ergonomic comfort I experienced (a good suggestion for improvement). I'm still recovering just a bit but mending well. Gym activity time and outdoor time was very precious and would advise some enhancement for best time value in their care. Poplar Springs is a GOOD place to get adjusted and ready for your Outpatient journey if applicable. With a few simple adjustments, it could be a GREAT Place to get your behavioral health off to a positive start. Recommend this place along with the recommended updates. I walked out a NEW Man!John Henby
