What We Treat

At Virginia Addiction Center, we deeply understand the struggles that come with substance use and mental health disorders. We know that facing addiction or mental health challenges, whether personally or through a loved one, can be incredibly daunting. You are not alone in this journey. Our mission is to provide support, compassion, and effective treatment, individualized specifically to your needs. With our dedicated team, you can count on compassionate guidance every step of the way toward recovery.

We offer a comprehensive range of programs and services that address various problems, including alcohol and drug addiction, prescription drug misuse, mental health disorders, and dual diagnosis. Here’s an in-depth look at what we treat and how we can help you or your loved one find the right path to healing.

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control or stop drinking despite its adverse effects on one’s life. At Virginia Addiction Center, we recognize the complexities involved in overcoming alcohol addiction. Our approach combines medical, psychological, and therapeutic interventions to provide a well-rounded treatment experience.

It can lead to a host of physical and mental health problems, including liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and depression. Our treatment program addresses these concerns through personalized plans that might include a combination of medical detoxification, counseling, and therapy.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction encompasses a range of substances, each with its unique challenges. We provide specialized treatment for various types of drug addiction, including:

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is significantly more potent than heroin or morphine. Its misuse has become increasingly prevalent and poses severe risks, including overdose and death. We offer targeted treatments for fentanyl addiction that focus on safe detoxification, medical stabilization, and comprehensive support.

Heroin

Heroin is an opioid derived from morphine and is known for its highly addictive properties. Individuals struggling with heroin addiction face intense cravings and severe withdrawal symptoms. Our treatment plans are created to manage withdrawal symptoms effectively and provide long-term recovery strategies.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine, or meth, is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It can cause severe physical and psychological damage, including weight loss, dental problems, and cognitive impairment. We offer specialized therapies to address both the physical and psychological aspects of meth addiction.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that can lead to short-term euphoria but also severe health consequences, such as heart problems, anxiety, and paranoia. Our treatment for cocaine addiction includes medical management and therapy to address the psychological impact of the drug.

Prescription Drugs

Prescription drug misuse is a growing concern, particularly with medications that have a high potential for addiction. We provide focused treatment for prescription drug addiction, including:

Opioid Painkillers

Opioid painkillers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, are commonly prescribed for pain but can lead to addiction if misused. Our approach includes medically assisted detoxification, counseling, and ongoing support to address the complex nature of opioid addiction.

Xanax

Xanax, a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and panic disorders, can become addictive when taken long-term or in larger doses than prescribed. Treatment for Xanax addiction often involves a gradual tapering process, combined with therapy to address the underlying anxiety or stress problems.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, such as Valium and Ativan, are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders but have a high potential for dependence. Our treatment focuses on safely reducing dependence through medical supervision and therapeutic support.

Mental Health Disorders

Mental health disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. At Virginia Addiction Center, we understand that mental health conditions often coexist with substance use disorders, complicating treatment and recovery. Our services include:

- Trauma therapy: Trauma can profoundly impact mental health and contribute to substance abuse. Our trauma therapy helps individuals process and heal from past experiences.
- Individual therapy: This one-on-one therapy provides a confidential space for exploring personal matters, developing coping strategies, and working toward mental health goals.
- Family therapy: Involving family members in the treatment process can be crucial for addressing relationship dynamics and building a supportive home environment.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. This condition requires an integrated approach to treatment, addressing both issues simultaneously to improve outcomes.

Our dual diagnosis treatment combines mental health care with addiction treatment, recognizing that each condition can affect the other. Our approach includes a comprehensive assessment, individualized treatment plans, and continuous support to manage both conditions effectively.

Our Treatment Programs

We offer several levels of care to meet diverse needs and preferences:

- 12-Step Programs: We incorporate 12-step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), as part of our holistic approach to recovery.
