About WVU Medicine Chestnut Ridge Center

Adults, adolescents, and children can recieve treatment for addiction and mental health issues at WVU Medicine Chestnut Ridge Center, located in Morgantown, West Virginia. Their programs include general outpatient (OP), partial hospitalization (PHP), and inpatient programs as well as residential treatment services.

Their addictions or dual disorder program is a medical detoxification and specialized short term treatment facility. Chemically dependent adults of 18 years of age and older, who are having issues due to alcohol or other drugs, may enroll in the organized, smoke free inpatient program focused on abstinence and with active family involvement.

They also offer 12 step self help support groups that follow the format of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). They provide a safe detoxification and psychiatric evaluation. They also offer individual, group, and family counseling. Their inpatient unit houses 11 beds and is available to both male and female patients. Pregnant women are also treated in this unit.

People can regain their path to a happy healthy life with the support of life enrichment skills, medication management and education about chemical dependency. They also teach you about relapse prevention, communication skills and self-esteem building.

The addition of withdrawal management and 28 day rehabilitation rounds out the in house continuum of care for individuals with substance use disorders. They provide a full menu of outpatient services for those with these conditions.

Three three-hour intense group therapy sessions per week make up the six-week intensive outpatient program. The purpose of these sessions is to educate individuals who are struggling with substance abuse and dependency on the process of recovery and how their addictions have affected their current situation.
In addition to medication assisted treatment (MAT), they also administer the Comprehensive Opioid Addiction Treatment program. They address the needs of teenagers with substance abuse problems at their multidisciplinary PREVENT clinic.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Our child and adolescent outpatient programs focus on the unique developmental issues of this age group. Adult outpatient programs are designed to provide intensive treatment that promotes productive involvement in family, job, and community for patients 18 years old and older. Older adults who experience memory problems can receive comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Symptoms that may need to be evaluated can include memory loss that affects job skills, problems with language, mood or behavior changes and others.

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

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.

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

Drug addiction causes psychological and physical damage through repeated and uncontrollable use of substances. Drug rehab in West Virginia focuses on providing a full continuum of care, from detox to aftercare, and treatment can take place in outpatient or inpatient settings, based on your needs.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 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

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.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

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.

medicare iconElectroconvulsive Therapy

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

Very rude to me about giving directions when I visited and I did nothing wrong. I brought my 20 year old girlfriend candy and they only let me give her a two items because she “couldn’t have all this at once”.

For outpatient, I think it's great! I'm able to have MyChart visits with my provider --- never an issue. Dr. Cadenas is AMAZING. I haven't had such a great psychiatrist in years. If you're looking for a new doc, he's your guy. You never feel judged, and he always talks things through instead of making the choice for you.

The last month has been a HORRIBLE experience in large part due to WVU Chestnut Ridge, but honestly because of all of WVU s mental health services. During my loved ones stay, I was lied to by a doctor about their mental state so that they could make room, which resulted in SEVERE consequences for us, they were in a much worse situation due to the hospital s negligence. The ER nurses are horrible individuals, they ignored and allowed my loved one to have constant panic attacks and were angry with me when I asked for help after 12 hours of this. The only things I ever saw them do was sit and talk to each other in a back room. I was genuinely shocked by his treatment during our time there. Absolutely 0 compassion from nurses, however I will say the social workers we encountered were fantastic and seemed to do their best despite the difficult situation. Aside from that, staff appeared overall nasty towards most patients during my visit and according to my loved one at Chestnut Ridge. I DO NOT recommend going here if you are dealing with mental health issues, there are places that will treat you so much better.

completely incompetent and neglectful staff with no real knowledge on mental health. they treat patients like criminals and will even hold them illegally if they wish to be discharged AMA. They hire fresh out of college no experience nurses to treat some of the most sensitive and care-intensive people. completely disgusted with their lack of communication to patients families about treatment. NEVER get admitted here. you re better off going untreated than being treated by these clowns.

This place is gross. You're treated like a criminal. Being a 49 year old adult, I was treated like a 4 year old. You are escorted by campus security through the ER like some criminal, not allowed to carry your own bags, all my things gone through as if I'd sneak in drugs, although I was there to try to get help for anxiety. They say it's for our own good. It's ridiculous that the patients are treated like felons 24/7.

I would like to thank the staff for all of their hard work, and dedication. My child got the best care from this facility, and also from Children s Hospital in Morgantown West Virginia. Great appreciation for all of your patience and support.

I was a WVU student. I went here for inpatient care for a few days because I was caught with a bottle of pills I planned to kill myself with. This hospital missed that I was bipolar- straight up missed it. I was manic in there, for multiple days. They upped my lexapro and let me go. Lexapro does not work for bipolar patients. They also had students come in and observe like we were lab rats or something. I m scared that people are being trained by this place. They let me go, after not realizing I was bipolar, and I tried to kill myself 2 days later. I did it in my WVU dorm room in Lincoln hall. I have some pretty bad organ damage. I wish they had realized something was severely wrong. I was very sick. Go anywhere but here if you can. Don t go to this place. You re made into a spectacle for students and they don t even pay enough attention to someone who is actively psychotic to realize that they are bipolar. it s sad.
