About Life Center of Galax
Life Center of Galax is a residential, outpatient, and detox facility in Galax, Virginia, that treats drug addiction and alcohol abuse. Assistance is given to individuals who are 18 years or older dealing with addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Additional services that are available at this facility include relapse prevention and treatment, family therapy and day support. Clients who are unsure about seeking treatment can take their free online assessment to help with making a decision. Life Center of Galax accepts payment through various private insurance providers. They provide treatment to both men and women and offer gender specific group sessions.
One thing that I like about this facility is that it offers addiction treatment for a variety of drugs. Clients can receive help for addictions to heroin, marijuana, meth and other substances. They also provide assistance for those struggling with prescription drug addiction. Life Center of Galax features a qualified staff that includes board certified psychiatrists, licensed counselors and nurse practitioners. Most patients will start by undergoing their detox program with assistance from the 24 hour nursing staff. If medication assisted treatment is necessary for opiate addiction, patients may receive methadone, Vivitrol or buprenorphine. All of the medications are designed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings.
In the residential treatment program, clients receive assessments, testing and interviews to develop a treatment plan. The treatment plan is also adjusted throughout the time the client is there. Therapeutic treatments that clients may receive include reality therapy, experiential therapy and cognitive therapy.
In the outpatient drug rehab program, clients receive a less intense approach through day support that gives them the flexibility to leave the center after the completion of treatment for the day. Services in this program include group therapy and leisure activities.

The program gave me much needed time to clear my mind and get health back in a safe environment not everything is perfect but the councilors and most staff were very knowledgeable compassionate and professional
***EDIT*** LCG is ONLY about the money they can get from the insurance companies. My review below this edit was bribed out of me, for a king size chocolate bar! 🤣🤦🏼♀️ The only one on one time I got was when my counselor would meet with me and talk about BS and then I'd be on my way. Not only did my aftercare plan completely fall apart, I should have gotten my completion certificate but I did not, it said transitioned to aftercare which didn't happen! Had it not been for ONE crisis company open that day I would of been outside with all my belongings in the middle of where I had pretty much come from (not a good area), luckily I got some help elsewhere and now can rebuild my life. I wasted over two months, missed Thanksgiving and Christmas with my kids for a BS program that is only about getting the $$$$ from people's insurance. SMH. & Don't get me started on how many people OD'ed just while I was there.
10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!
This is my second time at Galax, the first time around I wasn’t at rock bottom (there’s a basement, who knew😣). Since coming here last month, I’ve come such a long way and I couldn’t have made the progress I have if it weren’t for the staff members I’ve worked with over the last several weeks. I appreciate the weekly one on one sessions and am thankful Dr. Quanco listened to me regarding my mental health conditions because I am in the best head space of my entire adult life! Nowhere is perfect, which is why I give 4 🌟 , I seriously thank the staff for taking the time to work with me and not just push me to the side.

Your feedback is both important and valuable to us. The concerns you've shared are taken seriously, and we recognize their significance.
I would not send a dog to this place. Little to no health care,filthy, junkies passing out, rampant drug use,people overdosing, the atmosphere is like a zoo, this place is a joke, people having sex. They need to be investigated.

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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
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.

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.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
