SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS
Substance Abuse Treatment
Substance use affects health, relationships, and performance long before it meets criteria for a substance use disorder. Insight Recovery Centers provides evidence based outpatient treatment that is effective for those who don’t require 24 hour supervision or detox.
Our Clinical Focus
At Insight Recovery Centers, we address the full spectrum of substance use with the understanding that it rarely exists in isolation. Many clients present with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or mood disorders, and these root causes are treated in tandem with substance use. As a family-owned and clinician-led practice, we are deeply rooted in the local community and remain accountable to the people we serve. We assess and treat:
- Alcohol misuse, including alcohol moderation pathways for those clinically appropriate, with abstinence supported when necessary
- Opioid use, ranging from prescription pain medications to illicit opioids, with MAT and MOUD for opioid use disorder available as part of an integrated plan
- Benzodiazepine and sedative use, often intertwined with underlying anxiety or insomnia, requiring careful tapering and psychiatric oversight
- Stimulant use, including cocaine and amphetamines, addressed alongside co-occurring conditions such as ADHD or mood instability
- Cannabis and synthetic cannabinoid use, which may complicate anxiety, depression, or emerging psychosis
- Prescription misuse and polysubstance patterns, where collaboration across disciplines ensures both medical safety and behavioral change strategies
- Kratom use and dependency, including assessment of tolerance, withdrawal risk, and integration into harm reduction or tapering strategies
- Emerging synthetic psychedelics and novel psychoactive substances (NPS), addressed through risk mitigation, symptom management, and clinical adaptation to evolving substance trends
Our goal is not to only reduce use, but to identify the underlying drivers, build healthier coping strategies, and create a practical plan. By bringing counselors, psychiatrists, and program leaders together in one place, clients avoid the fragmentation of piecemeal care. Instead of being referred to outside providers who may not communicate, clients receive coordinated input from a team that shares the same space and collaborates daily. This gives every client a treatment plan that accounts for mental health symptoms, substance use patterns, medical needs, and family dynamics all at once. The result is faster adjustments when progress stalls, fewer gaps in care, and a clear, consistent path forward that clients and families can trust.
How treatment works
Comprehensive evaluation
Every client starts with an intake using ASAM criteria (American Society of Addiction Medicine) to make a recommendation for an appropriate level of care. The result is a written plan with clear targets and measurable outcomes.
Flexible, not forced
Recovery exists on a spectrum. Some clients pursue abstinence. Others stabilize through moderation or safer use strategies. Goals are chosen with you, based on clinical indicators and safety, and revisited as progress is made.
Care is available in person and through secure telehealth for Virginia residents and services include:
- Client specific counseling focused on function, triggers, and skill practice
- Small group counseling for coping skills, communication, and relapse prevention
- Family work to repair trust and strengthen support
- Medication services, including medication assisted treatment and MOUD when appropriate
- Drug and alcohol screening for accountability and clinical insight
- Case management and coordinated referrals when a different level of care is indicated
What to expect
You can remain engaged at work, in school, and at home while receiving structured treatment. Many clients enter through intensive outpatient programming. Others use standard outpatient care for ongoing support or step down from higher levels of care. Between sessions you will apply skills in daily life and review results with your clinician.
How we measure progress
Licensed by the commonwealth of Virginia and accredited by the Joint Commission, our programs meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and clinical innovation. To that end, we track improvement across four domains that matter:
- Reduction in harms linked to substance use
- Stabilization of mental health symptoms
