Tidewater Psychotherapy Services - Horizons

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Norfolk is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Virginia Beach, a few streets away.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Norfolk is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Virginia Beach can mean one group rather than several.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Virginia Beach, not all of them do.

The useful questions are the ones answerable with a fact: who prescribes, what the schedule is, what follows it. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.

A bed is not something anyone can hold for you on a maybe, which is most of why lists exist. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask what can be started while you wait.
