About Prince William Psychiatric Center

Prince William Psychiatric Center is a mental health and substance use treatment facility in Manassas, Virginia. They’re part of the UVA Health network. They treat adults in their inpatient program and people of all ages in their outpatient program.

Because of their affiliation with the UVA Health network, they have access to high-tech treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation. If you’ve had treatment failures before, especially for depression, these may be options to look into.

Their residential center is dual-diagnosis friendly. This means you can get help there if you’ve mental health problems at the same time as drug problems. Since it can be hard to tell if substance abuse is causing mental health problems or the other way around, it’s helpful when a treatment center can treat both issues.

One person who reviewed them mentioned that the food was good, and the groups were helpful. Several reviewers took issue with other aspects of the treatment, however. Check out their services to make sure it’s a good fit for your needs.

Dirty, extremely uneducated staff, rude employees, badly run groupsI came in for mental health & was ripped off my benzo prescription, COLD TURKEY, which resulted in multiple seizures (this information should be common sense for nurses & doctors) Also, the doctor abruptly upped another one of my medications 100+mg which resulted in me becoming worse than when I came in. I quickly became manic. The groups are not helpful nor are they educating.

Disgusting hospital. It's literally dirty. My room had a nat infestation. There are bugs like millipedes, spiders, and crickets. You are not allowed outside. You can only most of the time be in your room or the hallway. They lock the activity room. It is worse than a prison. Most people are drug addicts or alcoholics. It is loud. You cannot close the doors. You can t put your head under the sheets. They don't make the other patients go to bed. Hallway lights are left on at night. The other patients scream at night. It is impossible to sleep. There is no privacy. The bathroom floods. I was so distraught about being kept indefinitely I was just screaming and the staff just opened the window to my room to watch me convulse and scream instead of at least giving me something. Therapy is a joke. We did stuff like playing chair volleyball and pictionary. There is zero individual therapy. The staff are rude and unhelpful. I was misdiagnosed with a disorder I do not have and put on medication that later induced a medical crisis. They will not let you leave. They can and will force you into additional treatment even if you're there voluntarily." It is worse than jail.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Prince William Psychiatric Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

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.
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients participating in a rehab aftercare program receive comprehensive and customized support as they leave high-intensity treatment, reintegrate into their community, and focus on maintaining their sobriety. These programs offer a wide variety of services to align with the client's unique and evolving needs, often including medical, mental health, and social service program referrals. Clients typically develop their drug rehab aftercare plan in conjunction with their case manager and care team.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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).

Clinical Services

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I have nothing positive to say, staff showed no heart or compassion. More a detox facility rather than a mental health one, drugs are more important than finding out what's in your head.

Terrible terrible place. I was lied to, straight out. you're going to Hell when lady and how do sleep at night? Told me I'd get the sleep I needed and some help. You call playing games therapy. From Fri- mon I was there, yeah let's say being generous about an hour before release I get my hygiene kit. Really, no therapy, no sleep, questionable food, and left me stewing in my own juices for days... and I'm the one with problems?

I was there several years ago for suicide attempt. From the off I felt like I was in prison. I am diabetic and so was woken up every morning with a rough pricking of my finger and just down right unfriendly staff. Not one person there was treated compassionately and all felt like they were doing time and couldn't wait to leave. No help whatsoever. The psychiatrists didn't listen either.

Let's start off with the good things I experienced:The food was pretty goodThe groups were fun and helpful.The therapist i had was really nice!The activity therapists were amazing!Now for the bad:Getting my vitals taken was always chaos.I asked for a blind weight my first night. The lady doing it wasn't listening and just said "yeah sure" so i stepped on the scale backwards and she read my weight to me. It was very triggering.The night nurse i had (James) most of the time I was there was very unhelpful and rude to me. I was having really bad racing thoughts and I couldn't focus on reading. It was around midnight so the TV wall already off. So, I asked for a permanent marker to draw on myself with (that's been one of my biggest coping mechanisms for a long time) and he refused. I told him he could even watch me. He still refused and told me "to just go to bed and do my 'drawing thing' during the day". He tried forcing meds on me but he couldn't understand that those would make me sleep half the next day. I was always taught to utilize my coping mechanisms before I turn to meds. BUT HE WOULDN'T LET ME. So, I went to bed and ruminated for a couple hours because he didn't even want to try to talk to me about my problems. It was like he made me out to be a burden and I felt terrible.While the groups they had were helpful and fun, they did not follow the group schedule posted AT ALL.Overall: no where near the best experience I've had in a psych ward but... Not the worst? The nurses were unhelpful and the docs were only ok. But I did love the groups!

At commitment hearing for family member, judge would not accept any documentation from me since it didn't come through an attorney. However, my research online said to bring detailed information on patient's behavior, etc. This procedure lasted only 10 minutes, and they provided no chairs! The only one with any compassion or helpful information was the patient's attorney. The entire hearing was a sham and unnecessary, since they had already convinced the patient to commit herself voluntarily. Oh--and they told me 9 AM and it wasn't until noon.

I beg any parent or guardian to not put their loved one in this institution. They treat people like inmates. While I was there for alcohol detox. (I am happy to say I m 3 years sober now) But I am begging you to please send them to Virginia Hospital Center or somewhere else. They do indeed treat the patients just like inmates. While I was there a woman tried to hang herself and was almost successful. The counselors there do not know how to handle all of the patients at once. The patients have sex with each other. They may be getting off the drugs or begging for help psych problems (which don t come, they just stuff pills in their mouths) they came in for doing but this place is like One Flew Over the Cuckcoo s Nest. If you care about your sick loved one. Do not go here. Please don t.
