The facility took no responsibility for the THEFT OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS (several hundred $ worth).The counselors did not address concerns voiced about BULLYING by other patients.The security check upon admission was so bad, they failed to confiscate CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES of abuse present in plain site in the patient s backpack.Despite the program claiming it was secular, there were mandatory meetings including rituals and religious prayer.The conditions of the living space and transportation bus were even dirtier than my frat house in college.These are just some highlights of the many complaints my family had with this facility. Absolutely do not recommend!

Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding Treatment and Facility ConditionsI am writing to formally express my grave concerns and dissatisfaction with the treatment and conditions at your facility. My experience has raised several serious issues that need immediate attention and resolution.Firstly, the lack of communication regarding my medication is unacceptable. Failing to give me my prescribed medication is a HIPPA violation of medical standards, and endangers my health and well-being. This negligence must be addressed immediately to ensure that all clients receive the necessary medical care.Secondly, there have been multiple instances where individuals infected with COVID-19 have been admitted to the center without proper testing or quarantine measures. This disregard for health protocols has resulted in my own quarantine and illness since the 20th, causing significant distress and disruption to my recovery process. It is imperative that stringent measures are implemented to protect all residents from exposure to the virus.Additionally, I have experienced theft of personal items from my room. Despite reporting these incidents and the admitted culpability of those involved, I have been unjustly written up. This lack of accountability and fairness is deeply troubling and undermines the supportive environment that a rehabilitation center should provide.I also want to highlight the unprofessional behavior of some staff members who engage in troubling conversations about recovery, which is detrimental to the healing process. While I understand that not all employees are at fault, it is crucial that the facility upholds a standard of professionalism and respect towards all clients.The Issues I have outlined above have severely impacted my trust in your facility s ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for recovery. I respectfully request immediate action to address these concerns, including a thorough review of the protocols and practices at Rehab Unplugged. I also seek a clear explanation regarding the mishandling of my medication, the inadequate COVID-19 precautions, and the unjust disciplinary actions taken against me.I hope that by bringing these concerns to your attention, necessary improvements will be made to ensure the safety, well-being, and fair treatment of all clients. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to these matters.Thank you for your attention to this important issue.Sincerely,Chris Howard

Accepted Insurance

Recovery Unplugged Drug & Alcohol Rehab Virginia 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.

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.

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
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).
12-step icon12-Step
Once involved in a 12 step recovery program, clients can commit to a model of life-long recovery rooted in spiritual growth and intensive peer support. 12 step meetings are anonymous, peer-led, free, and accessible day and night, year-round, in most communities. Self-selected sponsors provide one-on-one coaching as participants work through the steps of recovery. These steps are based on spiritual principles used to address the origins of the addiction and to encourage self-compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in Virginia requires careful planning and execution. Due to complex family dynamics, intervention services are often necessary to help families successfully navigate the process. An intervention specialist can help family members plan what they will say and then facilitate the conversation. This expert also educates everyone involved about addiction, enabling behaviors, and treatment options.
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.
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

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.

Programs

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.
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.

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.

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.

Motivational interviewing in Virginia allows clients to examine their lives and consider their options. It is particularly useful if the client lacks confidence in their ability to change or is feeling uncertain about their desire to change.

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.

If you and your partner are facing challenges, couples therapy in Virginia is designed to help you work through those in a healthy way. Common challenges that couples therapy addresses include conflict resolution, financial disagreements, intimacy challenges, health issues, and substance abuse.

Family therapists work with all members of the family to understand the roles they play in the addiction dynamic. Addressing these patterns is crucial to developing healthier ways to interact and support each other, as well as contributing to a more effective recovery for their loved ones.

If you've experienced addiction, you may have lost the skills to self manage and adapt to change. Because these basic life skills are crucial for recovery, drug rehab programs typically include life skills training as an integral part of treatment.

Recreational therapy is often a part of a holistic treatment center program for drug and alcohol addiction in Virginia. It offers structured activities that replace substance use with positive experiences like swimming, painting, and hiking. These encourage social interactions, promote physical and mental health, and help reduce stress, all of which are factors that are important to help you rebuild your life.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

My husband worked through an in-patient program here and his progress has been truly remarkable. He celebrated his one year sobriety date a few weeks ago. He's on a healing journey, stays in touch with people from the program, and is involved with the alumni group! RU exceeded all of our expectations. A special shout-out to Abby and Wu for helping us to feel more at ease throughout this difficult process. I recommend this program to anyone who is ready to work a program and get their lives back!

I m only giving a 1 because there is no option for a zero. I sent a loved one to this facility for detox and they executively discharged him because he was experiencing cravings and voiced this to staff. He was suffering through the detox and trying to get help. They never called me, his emergency contact, to tell me that they put him and his belongings on the street with his phone battery on 4%. He is a young kid from NJ and has no idea where he is or where to go. According to the counselor Amy, the clinical director, Chris Burt, made this decision. The behavior or Jessica the nurse, Amy and staff is shameful. PS there is no music, no bible study and other amenities as advertised.

In February of 2023 my life was completely falling apart. I was broken down and hopeless. I was losing everything that truly mattered to me and I had no idea how to fix the destruction that my alcohol use had caused. I had separated from my husband of 20 years, lost my job, broke my daughter and the rest of my family s hearts and I was barely living. In fact, I was just existing; floating around aimlessly. I had finally had enough. My family took me to detox where I spent a week hating myself and the life I had been living, While I was there I was given 3 options on rehabilitation centers I could go to based on my insurance coverage. I knew nothing about rehab centers and assumed they were all the same so I chose the closest one to me. They did not have space for me at the time but by the grace of God I ended up at Recovery Unplugged and they saved my life. With the support of the staff and the community around me, I made it through the tough days and slowly I began to smile again. I began to laugh. I began to feel human. I was surrounded by people who were so similar to me; all facing challenges, from all walks of life, all struggling with addiction and all seeking a solution to the problem. I started to have some hope that life could be different. It is hard to put into words what the staff at Recovery Unplugged has done for me. They loved me when I could not love myself. They taught me a new way of living and dealing with life on life s terms. They kept me safe when I wasn t capable of keeping myself safe or making good decisions. They helped me to see the reality of my actions and I slowly started to realize how delusional and warped some of my beliefs were. This mental shift is what helped me to change my behavior and ultimately, change my life. I am now in IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) three times a week. I look forward to IOP; it is like going back home. The people I met in treatment and the staff at Recovery Unplugged feel like family to me. I have been so blessed to have been given the opportunity to rebuild my life. Recovery Unplugged has been a support for me every step of the way. Everything I lost is slowly coming back to me and in ways that I could never have imagined. I have so much gratitude for this program and for the staff that work there. They truly put their heart and soul into helping people with their recovery and it has made a huge difference in my life, my family s lives, and the lives of so many others like me. A Wife. A Mother. Maybe even the coworker sitting next to you. :)Thank you again RU for saving my life!
