About Behavioral Healthcare Services Portsmouth
Behavioral Healthcare Services Portsmouth is a Commonwealth of Virginia treatment center in Portsmouth, Virginia. Established in 1969, they provide various outpatient services for adults experiencing substance abuse, mental health conditions, and intellectual disabilities. You can access same day access to services including detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Priority Populations
While they welcome all Portsmouth residents, they prioritize serving certain populations. Pregnant women, people who use IV drugs, individuals living with HIV, people experiencing mental health crises, and those discharged or diverted from a psychiatric hospital or jail receive services within 24 hours.
Methadone Clinic
One great feature I noticed was their methadone clinic. This FDA approved drug helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms that come with quitting opioids. You can participate in methadone detox and maintenance. They complement care with proven therapeutic interventions to understand and change your behaviors. Services are available daily as well as on weekends and holidays.
Women’s Center
What stands out most to me is their women’s center. You can access targeted care that accounts for gender’s unique influence on addiction. They provide women focused treatment including health issue education, employment opportunities, parenting assistance, and community involvement. Family, group, and individual counseling as well as referral services are available.
Emergency Services
I also think it’s great that they offer emergency services. If you are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis, you can access immediate assistance 24/7. They also provide a crisis stabilization track with peer support services and a resource center. You’ll benefit from ongoing assistance to cope and understand the next best steps for your journey.
