We Help You Get Here

Getting to treatment shouldn’t stop you from getting help.

If you need transportation, we’ll arrange safe transportation through our partner network. Often the same day or next day after approval. This is especially helpful for people coming from rural areas or unstable living situations.

We’ll let you know exactly when to expect your ride.

Safe Housing While You’re in Treatment

Having a stable place to stay makes recovery possible.

We work with recommended sober living homes that provide a safe, structured environment during treatment. Housing is coordinated as part of your care plan.

  • Average stay: about 3 months
  • Structured, substance-free setting
  • Transportation handled by our partners

This allows you to focus on recovery without worrying about where you’ll sleep.

You Will Not Go Through Withdrawal Alone

Fear of withdrawal keeps many people from getting help.
 We understand that, and we’re prepared for it.

Treatment includes Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when appropriate, continued medications if you’re already on them, and clinical support to help you stay as comfortable and safe as possible.

You’ll have support every step of the way.

Ok, let's get to your questions

Addiction treatment in Virginia typically begins with an intake call, insurance or Medicaid verification, and a clinical assessment. Treatment may include outpatient care, therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), peer support, and planning for recovery after treatment.

The first step is reaching out for help. At Virginia Recovery Centers, treatment starts with a phone call where admissions staff verify coverage, explain next steps, and help coordinate care.

Same-day admissions are often possible once insurance or Medicaid is verified. Admissions teams work quickly to reduce delays, especially for individuals in unsafe or unstable situations.

Yes. Virginia Medicaid covers many addiction treatment services, including outpatient care, therapy, and medication-assisted treatment. Coverage is verified before treatment begins.

Addiction treatment can be inpatient or outpatient depending on individual needs. Virginia Recovery Centers provides outpatient treatment, allowing clients to receive structured care while building stability in daily life.

Withdrawal is managed with clinical support and, when appropriate, medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Patients are monitored and supported so they are not going through withdrawal alone.

Some programs coordinate housing through sober living partners. Virginia Recovery Centers works with recommended sober living homes to help provide safe, structured housing during treatment when needed.

Treatment length varies by individual needs. Many people remain connected to treatment and support services for several months to allow time for stabilization and recovery planning.

In addition to therapy, treatment may include peer support, case management, help with benefits, medical care coordination, employment preparation, and aftercare planning.

Before treatment ends, aftercare planning helps connect individuals to ongoing recovery support, housing options, community resources, and long-term accountability.

Many people enter treatment after previous attempts. Programs that focus on stability, support services, and long-term planning can help address factors that often lead to relapse.
