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.

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.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

I've been going to the Master center for about 7 years now. I really appreciate the fact that many of the coaches are in recovery as well. Sometimes having someone with personal experience can be in some ways more helpful than someone who has not been through a similar experience. My doctor is wonderful and very caring and concerned about my well-being. She has been through many of my life situations with me and has been there for me like a friend as well as a doctor. Anyone who is struggling with addiction should know that there are many many treatment options out there. This is a great one but if you don't go here go somewhere and if that place doesn't work for you go somewhere else. Recovery is possible for us all.

Almost 3 years ago I went to the Master Center in Glen Allen to deal with my opioid addiction and since that day and only by leaning into and taking all they said I am still clean and sober. They are a great program and the staff are wonderful. They understand and will do anything for their clients!

Very courteous and professional.. So friendly and down to earth. I switched treatment facilities from Cleanslate to Master center, comparing the two its hands down Master center is hands down the best choice - for me. I can relate much better with staff, friendlier, are more sincere in helping you to get and keep your sobriety. They are very nice people but when it comes to your/my visions good or bad going into the future with being clean and sober, they will tell you straight up, nope to this and hell no to that, well not like that but just erase my word hell and make your own because that's how they will say it. Lol. To top it off, most of the meetings are virtual, (I work long hours) so it's convenient there and the facility is not but a few miles from my house in which it also is not located in one of the most highest drug and crime areas in the city. Please do not take my words as Clean Slate not being a legit, treatment center. I know and I have personally witnessed many folks get help and the treatment they needed. So take nothing away from there program, just my comparison nothing more , nothing less. Thanks for letting me give some feed back. And I thank all the staff at Clean Slate and Master center for my journey in becoming the best man I can be.

Been going here for 3 years with no problem. My doctor Donna Brown that I ve had the whole time was a blessing compared to the last 2 months. Being bounce from doc to doc. Changing my meds on their demand after 3 years and canceling 1 weekly meeting after another. I m sorry to make this review after 3 years but I m completely disappointed and ready to go back to the VA hospital.

1 year ago today I began my recovery from alcohol and benzodiazepine addiction with the help of Master Center. Who I am today is a person I have always longed to be. I have been blessed by the amazing team at MC.Samantha, my psychiatrist, has taken my medicine cabinet of prescribed medications and worked diligently to change them, until I am now taking the correct medications. She is very compassionate and truly is a wonderful lady.Justin and intern Dana, have walked me through the darkness to the bright light of recovery. They and others at MC, have encouraged me, taught me the importance of having dialectical behavior skills and using them, and when I felt like I just couldn t do it any longer, I was reminded of not only how far I have come but how well I truly was doing.Thank you are two words that can never express my gratitude to them all!!
