Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab
If you’re starting out on your recovery journey, inpatient treatment can give you the focused, supportive environment you need to build a solid foundation. Inpatient treatment provides focused therapy that allows you to understand the roots of substance use, learn healthy coping skills, and create a new life.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Receiving cognitive behavioral therapy in Virginia helps you identify your automatic interpretations of situations and how that impacts your behavior. CBT may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice challenging automatic thoughts and choosing a more positive response.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Receiving dialectical behavioral therapy in Virginia helps you identify your strengths and learn how to create a better life for yourself. DBT may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice healthy coping mechanisms and choosing a more positive response.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy allows you to use activities such as art and music to express your emotions and work through trauma. You may struggle to address certain emotions or experiences in a traditional setting. Experiential therapy gives you a different environment and can help you breakthrough.
Group Therapy
If you struggle with addiction in Virginia, it’s common to feel like no one understands you. Group therapy can help you find common perspectives and support. There are several goals in group therapy. Some sessions may be focused on education about a certain topic, while others allow clients to discuss a specific issue they face. Overall, the group members hold each other accountable and provide encouragement.
Individual Therapy
In Virginia, individual therapy allows you to work one-on-one with a professional to address your past experiences and substance use triggers. This support and accountability help you establish recovery. Individual therapy is only one element of rehab treatment, along with activities, peer support, group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Trauma Therapy
When you’ve experienced trauma, it’s natural to try to protect yourself from further harm. Trauma-informed therapy in Virginia can help you see how substance use is connected to your past experiences and how you can learn to care for yourself in healthier ways. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and trauma-informed therapy may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients acknowledge past experiences, address their feelings, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
