Virginia has addiction treatment options across Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, Hampton Roads, the Shenandoah Valley, the Roanoke region and Southwest Virginia. Programs vary considerably in intensity. A person may need medical detox, live-in residential treatment, a structured PHP or IOP schedule, standard outpatient care, or medication treatment for alcohol or opioid use disorder.
The selected providers on this page represent different parts of that continuum. They are included to help compare program types and regions. Availability, clinical eligibility, insurance participation and current services should be confirmed directly with each provider.
Virginia also has a statewide public behavioral health system. The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services identifies Community Services Boards as the primary entry point to publicly funded mental health and substance use services. These local agencies can be especially useful for people with Medicaid, limited insurance or difficulty paying for private treatment.

Directory guidance
Compare care levels, provider details and verification sources before choosing a program.
What levels of addiction treatment are available in Virginia?
Virginia providers offer several levels of care, including medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, standard outpatient treatment and medication treatment. The appropriate level depends on withdrawal risk, substance use history, physical and mental health needs, and the amount of structure needed for safety.
How can I verify a rehab provider in Virginia?
Confirm the provider's current Virginia license and the specific services covered by that license. Virginia DBHDS maintains provider and public-service resources, while individual treatment centers should also be able to explain their licensing, accreditation and clinical credentials directly.
Does Virginia have public or lower-cost substance use treatment?
Yes. Virginia's Community Services Boards are the primary entry point to the Commonwealth's public behavioral health system. DBHDS says these local agencies serve people with mental health and substance use needs and can help people who have Medicaid, little insurance or difficulty paying for private services.
Does Virginia Medicaid cover addiction treatment?
Virginia Medicaid operates Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services, commonly called ARTS. The benefit includes a continuum of substance use disorder services for eligible members, and DMAS maintains information and provider-network resources for ASAM levels of care, opioid treatment and office-based addiction treatment. Coverage and authorization should be confirmed for the individual member and provider.
Are medical detox programs available in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia has hospital-based and specialty treatment programs that provide medically supervised withdrawal management. Examples in this directory include Inova CATS in Fairfax, Mount Regis Center in Salem, Life Center of Galax and Carilion addiction services in the Roanoke region. A clinical assessment should determine whether medical detox is appropriate.
Is medication-assisted treatment available in Virginia?
Yes. Medication treatment is available through hospital systems, outpatient addiction clinics, opioid treatment programs and other providers across Virginia. Depending on the diagnosis and provider, medications may be used for opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder together with counseling and recovery support.
Should I choose residential or outpatient rehab in Virginia?
Residential care provides a live-in setting and more daily structure. Outpatient programs allow a person to live at home or in supportive housing while attending scheduled treatment. Withdrawal risk, previous treatment history, home stability, co-occurring mental health conditions and clinical assessment all affect the choice.
What should I compare before choosing a Virginia rehab center?
Compare the program's licensed level of care, withdrawal-management capability, medication options, mental health services, family involvement, location, cost, insurance participation, current availability and discharge planning. Confirm these details directly with the provider before making an admission decision.
