Located in Radford, Virginia is the New River Valley Community Services New Horizons facility. This is a crisis stabilization unit that serves both men and women who are experiencing acute mental health issues. They can also support you if your crisis exists alongside substance abuse or chemical dependency.
This facility offers a supportive environment to stabilize your body. It’s not a large scale facility, but rather a smaller size center that offers more personalized care.
This facility is open 24 hours a day and operates under New Review Community Services, an organization that provides comprehensive treatment for adults navigating an addiction dependency.
New River Community Services has different programs in place to support residents from all backgrounds including those involved in the criminal justice system. There’s a service here called the New River Valley Crisis Intervention team which deploys when individuals call local police because of a mental health crisis.
Acting as a jail diversion service, this program has successfully helped juveniles and adults receive appropriate treatment as opposed to traditional incarceration.
There are other programs here for court involved individuals including recovery court services and treatment tracks that address the needs of families as well.
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available through New Horizons and the New River Valley Community Services organization. You’ll be enrolled in an outpatient program or receiving services through one of their other programs to start MAT.
As you work through MAT, you’ll also be involved in different support groups that meet weekly. Among the support groups available are the Suboxone group, a women’s circle, and a skills development group.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Opioid AddictionVirginia provides substance abuse treatment for individuals struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs incorporate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. With a variety of treatment options available, including outpatient, inpatient, and residential programs, you can find personalized care to support you in achieving sobriety and learning the skills to maintain long-term recovery.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
For those experiencing mental health challenges, including substance use disorder, dialectical behavior therapy in Virginia offers an evidence based method of treatment. This therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal relations so you can break free from negative patterns.

WARNING: DO NOT EMAIL THE 401 PEER CENTER!!!! WARNING: NRVCS profits off of TDO's. NRVCS, and the "mental health professionals" in the community have been known to submit false information without evidence to the courts for unlawful TDO's. NRVCS has facilities to hold individuals where they threaten to hold you indefinitely if you don't comply by consuming their medications. Calling the cops for a wellness check is their go-to for any situations they don't have another solution for. If a wellness check doesn't provide the desired results for them, they will look for a reason to request a Custody Order. This organization is a scam. They don't know the services available in the community. They won't help you in a crisis. They refused to comply with my request for accommodations to communicate via text. Update 2025: DO NOT EMAIL THE 401 PEER CENTER!!!! I sent an email for support to the 401 Peer Center. It was ignored. I sent 4 more emails over the course of 2 weeks. These emails received no reply, but, instead, NRVCS requested a wellness check on me - The wellness check proved that I was fine. Over a month later, I sent another email outlining how my emails to the 401 Peer Center were a mistake and they had caused more stress in my life. After receiving that email, NRVCS placed a Custody Order on me, ordered a Temporary Detention Order accusing me of Psychosis because my upstairs neighbors were creating nuisance noises, and refused to believe video evidence of my claims that included a decibel meter. I was sent to a facility 1.5 hours away from my home where they could not provide for my specialty diet BUT recognized that NRVCS had lied on their TDO, I was fine, and they let me go home within a reasonable time. NRVCS paid for the facilities, but not the ride home. Additionally, let's not forget the first right of our rights as clients of NRVCS, "To receive services in the least restrictive environment, and to be free from any unnecessary use of seclusion, restriction, or time out. To be treated with dignity and in a professional and courteous manner; to be protected from harm including abuse, harassment, neglect and exploitation." Yet, I was handcuffed to a hospital bed after being taken from my home for sending an email outlining my mistakes for previously emailing the 401 Peer Center.
I started coming here when I was just 8 years old. Without going into the specifics of my medical history, I’ll simply say this: I’ve been a patient here for 21 years — a very long time. I’ve always appreciated the hands-off approach, which suited me well, as I’ve always been a private, independent person. I’ve been on the same medications since childhood, and for nearly two decades, I was never asked to do lab work — no blood tests, nothing invasive. The case managers have consistently been the most positive part of my experience. And Dr. Freeben, who saw me from age 8 to 16, was by far my favorite therapist. She understood me, respected my boundaries, and truly cared. After she retired to start a family, I transitioned into adult care — and that’s when things began to change. Even then, my current therapist — who I’ll soon be parting ways with — didn’t immediately push for blood work. For the first few years, my needle phobia was respected. But once I turned 27, the testing began. Despite being clear about my fear, the policy shifted, and blood tests became routine. It’s worth noting that I’m not the only one in my family who’s had issues here. My cousin and uncle were both patients, but when cannabis was still illegal, they were given an ultimatum: stop using it, or NRVCS would stop treating them. They both left and started going to the Salem center, which, by all accounts, offered even worse care. It was disappointing then — especially now that cannabis is legal and widely accepted. Which brings me to the real issue: these blood tests. Officially, they’re to monitor for harmful side effects from medication — and while that sounds reasonable, there’s a quiet second purpose no one wants to admit. These labs are also used to drug test patients. It’s surveillance disguised as care. And that’s not what I came here for. I did not sign up for surveillance — I signed up for therapy. So I’m done
Left me essentially locked in a room for hours, and didn't respect my wishes to go home, and I felt trapped and unsafe. Do not go here.
I came from Loudoun County, Virginia, the wealthiest county in the United States. NRVCS is LIGHTYEARS beyond what Loudoun County offers. I probably can't even get into much detail, but mostly just, probably the opposite of what most people end up receiving in most other places, from level of care and attention, to excellent, helpful, LOGICAL, respectful, resourceful, dedicated, personalized experts in virtually any social services arena. Amazing, competent, caring and thorough staff, I personally cannot thank this place enough. NRVCS has helped me change my life around in a very efficient matter. They don't do "cookie- cutter" help. They help on so many levels on virtually any issues you could imagine. NRVCS should serve as an example to the entire nation on how to use community resources to ACTUALLY help people. I cannot recommend or thank them enough.
If you call access which is through nrvcs in a crisis they hang up on you.
I will recommend NRVCS in Radford to any and everyone. They care. They listen. And they work with you. My psychiatrist took one session to fix my sleep habits and my counselor. Oh man. She is the best person ever on this earth. Thank you NRVCS. You really did save me and my life.
I’ve used NRVCS for about 2 years and I can honestly say they are the only facility that has ever truly cared about my mental well being. I’ve been seeing my doctor for quite a while and I have made a huge improvement since being in her care. With my diagnosis, most doctors give up after a while or never even really try other than prescribe a cocktail of meds. My doctor at NRVCS takes time to listen and cares enough to make the right medical decisions for my mental and physical well being. NRVCS in my opinion is the best place I’ve gone to. I also highly recommend their crisis center. An amazing resource that helps a lot if you’re in desperate need. These people truly care IF you treat them with respect :)).
STAY VERY FAR AWAY IF YOU ARE OR SUSPECT YOU HAVE AUTISM OR ADHD! THEY WILL GASLIGHT YOU OUT OF TREATMENT!
Expect to get a bill for 1000 dollars for speaking to a nurse , the offices are nice tho
NRVCS has helped me a lot.
James the director treated a friend of mine who is in recovery like dirt and has given our recovery meeting such a hard time that we were finally forced to find a new meeting place. This place is about the $$ not the people. Garbage.
I'm a current client of NRVCS and signed up for Sub/MAT program I've been going for almost a month and have yet to get to a doctor and get my Sub so I've decided I'm not going backwhats the use of I'm not getting the medication needed I'm not talking to anymore therapist doesn't do any good
