About AppleGate Recovery Richmond

AppleGate Recovery Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, was an outpatient opioid addiction treatment facility for adults. The facility utilized medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help clients recover from substance use disorder. The staff members that clients would work with included nurse practitioners and doctors. While the Richmond location is closed, AppleGate Recovery has locations in West Virginia, Maryland and other states throughout the southeast.

A Support System to Encourage Sobriety

The facility focused heavily on helping individuals build a support system that would support their recovery. Clients would have the support of their counselors as well as the support of their peers in group counseling sessions. They were also encouraged to rebuild ties with their families and attend 12 Step meetings.

Office Based Opioid Treatment

Buprenorphine and Suboxone were used to help prevent withdrawal symptoms and help clients focus more on addressing the cause of their addiction in counseling. Unlike methadone clinics, clients were prescribed these medications so they wouldn’t have to be at the facility as frequently and have more time to take care of their daily responsibilities.

AppleGate Recovery could be contacted anytime for refills on medication. Along with more time for daily responsibilities, clients also had more time to practice living a sober lifestyle by seeing the interesting attractions that Richmond offered. They could visit various unique museums such as The Poe Museum and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Case Management Services

The facility offered case management services to help clients remove any barriers to their recovery. Case managers could get clients access to resources such as public benefits, housing and employment. They also referred clients to other services or programs that could help with recovery.

Update to my review: They are closing this business SEPTEMBER 19th, 2024. I had been going to this office for 4 entire years, no break and receive a text message that they are closing the business for good. This would be one thing if it is a regular Dr office but a lot of us rely on them to keep us away from dangerous substances. Didn't even give me a heads up that this was even thought of closing the business. It's sadI have been going to Applegate recovery for years, since 2020. I started when I was pretty much rock bottom, heavy addict, prison sentence over my head and didn't know where to turn. Since the day I walked into the office I have received care and love from every staff member there. Judy has been a lifesaver for me and I couldn't thank her, Joan, and all the staff enough. Not exaggerating when I say this buy they honestly were a huge aid in saving my life and helping me see the brighter side of life again. THANK YOU

One of the best clinics I have been to in the area. They have gone through some recent changes and it has made it even better. Probably one of the nicest and most compassionate staffs I have worked with. When they say they will do everything to meet you were you are at they mean it. They all treat you with dignity and respect, and not as a number. I ve been to other clinics, and I can truly say Applegate is the best. If you are debating starting treatment I highly recommend you check them out!

****MALPRATICE***I HAVE YET TO GET MY MEDICINE****SUNDAY 6PM NO PHARMACY TIL TUESDAY I'm completely floored at this point. Not once but TWICE I haven't gotten my meds called in and didn't find out until Saturday. I should not be the one that has to make sure that my prescriptions get put in. Even though, I checked and rechecked before I left my appointment to make sure it got put in!I'm absolutely disgusted that they have an on call doctor on the weekends that refuses to pick up the phone as well as a director that does the same. Disgusted at the fact that more people have most likely gone through this or is it just me?! I've been in recovery for multiple years. The lack of responsibility hurts. Especially to jeopardize someone's recovery in this manner.I have yet to even receive a single call back or even just a check in considering I'm prescribed medications that I have to take everyday.Do better. Be better. I pray no one else has gone through this like I have for the second month in a row!Dr. Michael Whipple directorDr. Joan Sheppard on call doctor

Accepted Insurance

AppleGate Recovery Richmond works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you enroll in drug rehab in Virginia, a treatment plan is designed by professional staff in order to help you overcome drug addiction and modify addictive behaviors. This may include evidence-based treatments, group and individual therapy, and relapse prevention.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Went today for the first time and I could not have asked for a better experience! The entire staff was amazing! I was completely comfortable, they took care of literally everything, the process was super smooth and the staff-again, I just can’t say how caring and welcoming they were. They made me feel right at home. 10/10. You won’t regret going here!

I’ve been visiting this practice for years and cannot speak highly enough about their service. The staff is expedient, accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and kind. Rescheduling is always easy, and they are more than happy to work with you if you’re running a bit late. Through sublocade I have been able to regain confidence, security, and stability in my life, making me feel whole for the first time since childhood. I can’t encourage those in need of and ready for help to contact the Coleman Institute (AppleGate Recovery) enough.
