Our Methodology
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.

Intervention Services 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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Family therapists work with all members of the family to understand the roles they play in the addiction dynamic. Addressing these patterns is crucial to developing healthier ways to interact and support each other, as well as contributing to a more effective recovery for their loved ones.

McShin was amazing as an opiate addict who had never experienced any kind of recovery services. Everyone working there is kind and caring as well as advocates in the community for recovery services. Great opportunities to get immersed in the 12 step program. Gave me the step ...
This place has helped me realize what a life without needing any drug means. It's fantastic how destroyed my life was when I first came here. I'm more than happy to have found a place where my life wasn't meaningless.
At first I was not sold. Now I am 100% sure without the tools and confidence they have helped me gain, I would be dead or in prison. I love this place! I can't imagine my world without the connections and family I have found here.
This place saved my life. I have loved and enjoyed my time at the Mcshin foundation. It truly has changed my life for the better without this place. I would still be living the same lifestyle that I was living before they have the tools and the know how to teach you how to live a life better than the one you were living before I would recommend any person on the face of this earth to this program The tools I have learned I will carry with me for the rest of my life thankful for the Mcshin foundation and a special shout out to the men’s program Director Grant he is absolutely amazing and what he does it makes Grant has had the biggest impact on me at Mcshin sincerely, Zachary
From another post: "Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to providing a supportive environment for all of our residents. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter with you directly." Bullcrap. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that they gave me the opportunity, but what was there response in the face of difficulty? To have 8 people in the room with me tell me how I was wrong without listening to what I was dealing with, as if to bully me? To go to community meetings to hear the CEO say, "I have to take care of my kids so I have to leave," and also, "We got a $2 million dollar grant and we don't have to account for it"? For the COO to ask to meet, and then fail to show up and walk by multiple times? To be accused by house leadership of not following directions, yet, the brother of the CEO (who was also a house sub-leader...after being demoted for whatever reasons) can influence another house leader wrongly goes with impunity? What does a socialist fist flag of "Love is Love" have to do with sobriety? Endorse nor oppose any causes? It is NOT what Mr. Shinholzer and his wife created. It is not what it should be. Want to require DEI readings, while entitling others? Hypocrites. There are some good people here. There truly are. Sadly, the leadership and entitled others ruin it. And I doubt they would fix it. Because, as one author wrote: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
McShin was a huge light for some of my darkest days. I wouldn't have 13 months sober if it wasn't for this foundation and wonderful staff.
I am very grateful for the McShin foundation. The Destiny house made it possible for me and my son to have a safe sober environment. I am now 18 months sober. Thank you Honesty for opening the Destiny house and being so amazing. Thank you to all the McShin staff you are all caring and amazing.
Don’t waste your time going 🤦🏽♂️
Mcshin Foundation is the Real Deal! They are making the world a better place by helping people in need. Shout out to Steven Jesse, Grant, Jason, Cricket, Travis, Terry, Jose, Michael, Coley!!!🤜🤛
I came to McShin by the Grace of God and my fearless wife, I was absolutely hopelessly stuck in a 2 year addiction, the altruistic, compassionate, staff and participants all loved me back to life. My experience in my 28 day intensive stay at Clarke house, was like no other experience i’ve ever had in my entire life. Their approach is unparalleled and is precisely what I needed. If you or you know someone as hopeless as I was, give yourself or loved one a chance at a message of hope and a promise of freedom from active addiction!!
Without a doubt I can say that Mcshin saved my life. Their people very much care about their participants and help them succeed in their goals. If you need help with a substance use disorder, Mcshin is the place to go. T.D.
I was here in 2014. I didn't learn anything near what I learned in Louisville. I ended up getting kicked out because they gave me tramadol in the ER when I went for an abscess that had my whole jaw swollen. They really expected me to suffer in pain. Even the doctor in the ER told me that I was going to need something for pain so he gave me that because I told him I was not supposed to take any narcotics due to being in a recovery house. I was the only black person there except for two guys back when I went. I do feel like they would have been more lenient with me if I was white, just being honest. It's like the staff couldn't wait to get rid of me. I also had way too much freedom to had just been there under 30 days. There are some success stories here but for me it was a big waste of money. Oh and I do have almost 5 years clean now...
I’m truly grateful to the McShin foundation and its mission ♥️ I found McShin in November 2021, never previously experiencing sobriety or recovery . Me..I’d never spent one day of my adult life sober. McShin provided me the tools, the safe space and nurturing environment for me to begin my healing process and taught me how to love myself again, living life one day at a time. With the passionate and patient love of the supporting staff, I went from a broken man and participant to working as a staff member with the same people, I started my journey looking up to, restoring my dignity and self-worth! Much love to my McShin FAMILY! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!! 🙏
