Shoutout to my wonderful psychiatrist because he took care of me when I needed it the most!
About Rappahannock Area Community Services Board
Located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board offers drug rehab services to individuals suffering from addiction and mental health conditions. Their levels of care come in the form of outpatient care and medically supervised detox services, which are also outpatient. The detox process will be safe because not only will you be supervised by medical professionals, but you’ll also receive medication to make your withdrawal symptoms less intense with their medication assisted treatment. Through counseling, case management and support groups, you’ll have everything you need to finally beat your addiction and leave it forever.
Their outpatient program offers individualized treatment, because everyone is different and handles addiction and recovery differently. For most, though, it’ll be beneficial to participate in specialized group therapy sessions. You’ll be educated on substance use disorders, receive anger management training, individual therapy and trauma group therapy. If you’re a pregnant or a parenting woman, you’ll get priority care. There is a lot here to benefit from, albeit at the outpatient level.

" first come first serve" complete bs! You can call 6 days in a row and not get a intake appt, they tell you to call back tomorrow if you don't get through the moment they open... It's all luck. They abandon you when you need them most if you aren't meeting "the have an appointment in 60 days no matter your circumstance" rule. Drs, oh man! I never got the same Dr more than 2x, each session I had to explain everything again from meds to issues. My CM showed up at my place so many times covered in dirt and stinky. Would not recommend! Unfortunately they're the only ones that take my insurance. Emergency services it's just " oh I'm so sorry, there is nothing I can do or say ... Are you planning to hurt yourself? No, okay call back if you need us." Beep ...In under 5 minutes... No help at all. They also have no counselors experienced in chronic pain. They force feed CBT bs down your throat, offer exercise, distraction & going outside as advice for severe issues. Them: "I'm so sorry you're starving, why don't you try turning on a funny movie or taking a nice walk outside? Doesn't that sound like a good idea?" Also housing issues there is only help for chronically homeless not for ppl trying to stay in their home after falling on rough times.
If I could give zero stars I would. This place is a nightmare for families in need of help for their autistic child. All they do is make things worse. Their emergency crisis intervention refused to come out and help or see him. They told me to call 911. We did and they had our 11 year old son put under a TDO when we said we will sign whatever you need to get him help. We never refused to get him help. They now have decision making capabilities over him! Not his loving parents who want what is best for him. This is disgusting. I am beyond appalled. I never got served with the paperwork for this TDO until days later. We found a bed at a great hospital out of state but they won t do the referral form and won t let him leave the state. He now has a bed at the CCCA a place ridden with child abuse allegations. The CCCA was dinged for multiple violation by the Joint Commission. A judge now has say over my 11 year old son not his parents. This is not help.
I loved my therapist I had at this location, she was amazing. However, the Dr I saw for medication management I did not the feel the same about. I felt as though I was not heard at all regarding what I needed. So I submit a provider change request MAY 29th 2024, I then call a few days ago, and was told we have it, do at least one more appointment with her . The more I thought about it, the more I realized this not something I was comfortable doing. Moral of the story, I wish communication was overall better and this doesn t happen often.

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.
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.
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
Inpatient 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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
Nutrition therapy teaches you what to eat and not eat, how to grocery shop, how to cook easy nutritious meals, and how to use food as medicine to address your health issues. These skills will help speed up your recovery process and reduce the risk of relapse.
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.
The goal of nicotine replacement therapy is to reduce the discomfort of quitting cigarettes. It provides small doses of nicotine to curb cravings and withdrawal without exposing you to the other harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
