LewisGale Center – Behavioral Health - Salem, VA

About the Facility

LewisGale Medical Center in Salem, Virginia, is a mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Their multidisciplinary team utilizes evidence backed approaches to treat substance abuse and its associated problems. They provide state of the art amenities in a comfortable clinical setting.

LewisGale Medical Center accepts clients 13 years and older. Their facilities provide spaces for community mental health support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.

Clients with severe symptoms who may be a danger to themselves or others require greater care, which is what the inpatient program allows. Clients live onsite and undergo group and individual therapies in a safe, secure environment under close supervision. Clients work with their treatment plan during an assessment to build the care plan that best addresses their needs and concerns.

Therapy and counseling help clients explore their addiction in a controlled environment, discover their triggers, and cultivate healthy coping skills to abstain from substance abuse and other dangerous behaviors. Therapy also helps prepare clients to return to their communities once treatment ends.

Clients who are stable with less severe symptoms and who wish to live at home during treatment may be accepted into IOP. Clients attend sessions with their treatment team at the facility for three hours a day, three days a week. IOP usually consists of 18 sessions.

The residential program is sometimes followed with IOP to help clients transition and practice the skills they learned in treatment.

Falling somewhere between inpatient and outpatient, PHP sees clients come to the facility Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM, throughout seven to 10 sessions. PHP ensures clients can get a higher level of care without living on campus. PHP is an effective alternative for clients who need a high level of care but are safe to live at home during treatment.

LewisGale Medical Center is accredited by the American College of Residential Services and the Joint Commission.

Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcohol use disorder, which is often used interchangeably with the term alcoholism, is a chronic, relapsing condition. While it is characterized by harmful patterns of alcohol use and physical dependence on the substance, the condition can be managed and treated. Effective alcohol rehab in Virginia is available in a variety of formats, including inpatient, outpatient, medication-assisted therapy, and mutual-support groups.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

In Virginia, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs focus on providing integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Specialized programs offer medically monitored detox, outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed therapy, and family therapy help to address both disorders simultaneously while promoting mental health and well-being.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs in New York provide complete and holistic care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse. These specialized programs are available on an inpatient and outpatient basis, depending on your individual needs. Addiction experts at these facilities can treat both conditions at the same time using a combination of evidence-based therapies, individual counseling, recovery groups, educational workshops, and family support.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer community-based addiction treatment, enabling clients to remain in their homes while in recovery. Their levels of care typically include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, and sober living programming. Most outpatient facilities offer addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative programs include evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, music therapy, and massage. Facilities specializing in alcohol and/or opioid addiction may also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Medically Assisted Detox

Known as the first step of the addiction recovery process, medical detox is the removal of addictive drugs and alcohol from your body and helping manage physical withdrawal. Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting where you will be closely monitored by a team of medical professionals to ensure your maximum health and safety. Medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol may be administered if needed to alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. This process is typically at least partially covered by most insurance plans.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients in an intensive outpatient rehab (IOP) benefit from robust support but often do not require the high-level supervision and round-the-clock clinical care provided in an inpatient setting. Clients engage in multiple therapeutic sessions weekly, with most programs requiring between nine and 20 treatment hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehabs provide a wide array of evidence-based services, including addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
