Virginia Beach Department of Human Services is an office of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia. They can help with a lot of different needs and resources, but one of their specialties is drug and alcohol addiction treatment. This includes detox care.
While they don’t directly have a traditional detox treatment center here, they do have a specialized opioid treatment program. This program uses medication assisted treatment or MAT. It involves giving you unique medications that gradually lower your body’s dependence on opioids like fentanyl, heroin and prescription pain medicine. Through this program, called Restore, they can help you lower your physical addiction symptoms and step down your dosage gradually while you attend therapy and other addiction treatments.
This program can help with opioid addiction detoxing, but you aren’t out of luck if your addiction is to alcohol or other substances. This department can also connect you with resources or anything you need in your recovery journey, including detox centers. They also provide outpatient addiction counseling here, so they can help with that aspect of your recovery as well.
While some clients have reported delays in communication at this facility, many say their experience was smooth and efficient. They report that they received what they needed from the facility to get the help they required.
