Drug & Alcohol Detox in Chesapeake, VA

The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), under 12VAC35-105, licenses and regulates detox services in Chesapeake. Residential programs must also hold ASAM Level of Care certification issued through DBHDS. Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare (CIBH), at 224 Great Bridge Boulevard, is the local Community Services Board that provides outpatient SUD services, medication management, case management and peer recovery support. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Its staff also helps uninsured patients to apply for Medicaid.

Chesapeake is part of the South Hampton Roads area and sits close to several major military installations. The area has a large active duty and veteran population, so many residents have TRICARE or VA health coverage. Both can cover detox and substance use treatment. The Hampton VA Medical Center also has a clinic in Chesapeake, while the Chesapeake Vet Center helps veterans connect with substance use services and other community resources.

The Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority awarded Chesapeake $3.4 million in opioid settlement funds. The city also joined a five locality regional partnership with Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk and Portsmouth to plan a comprehensive continuum of opioid use disorder care for South Hampton Roads. These resources are being directed toward expanded treatment access, harm reduction infrastructure and recovery support services across the region.

Paying for Detox in Chesapeake

Treatment costs in Chesapeake can vary significantly and depend on factors such as level of care and insurance status. The good news is that several financial pathways exist to help make treatment more accessible.

How Much Does Detox Cost in Chesapeake?

There’s limited withdrawal management capacity in Chesapeake. However, two programs are just a short 10 mile drive away. Those with high acuity needs will often go to Hampton Roads cities to get the medically managed detox they need. If you don’t need close medical supervision, you can use outpatient MAT programs, which allow you to manage detox and still maintain work or family responsibilities. Outpatient MAT combines FDA approved medications to manage withdrawal alongside counseling.

The cost of detox depends on the level of medical supervision you require, what substances are involved and where your care is delivered. The length of your stay and the medications you take can also drive up the cost. The following figures represent Virginia statewide averages across care levels:

$139k

Medical Detox

$50k

Inpatient Rehab

$8.3k

Outpatient Rehab

$7.4k

Methadone Treatment

Does Private Insurance Cover Detox in Chesapeake?

Under the Affordable Care Act, private insurance companies must cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical benefits. The Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Insurance makes sure insurance providers in Virginia comply with these state and federal requirements. The most common commercial insurance plans accepted at Chesapeake detox providers include:

Medicare and Medicaid in Chesapeake

Medicare

If you are enrolled in Medicare, it will cover inpatient and outpatient alcohol and drug detox. Under Part B, Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) services, including methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, are also covered. Plans vary, so the amount you pay out of pocket depends on the setting, services and your benefits coverage.

Medicaid

Cardinal Care, Virginia’s Medicaid program, covers inpatient detox, residential SUD treatment and outpatient services for its eligible members through its Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS). As of July 2025, five managed care organizations administer Cardinal Care, including Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Optima Health and Humana Healthy Horizons.

Other Ways to Pay for Detox Treatment

It’s common to worry about how you will pay for detox in Chesapeake. Thankfully, there are local and statewide programs that can reduce or eliminate your out of pocket expenses.

Sliding Scale Payment:

Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare (CIBH) uses a sliding fee scale and accepts patients regardless of ability to pay, funded in part through a SAMHSA block grant. Staff can also help uninsured patients apply for Medicaid at intake.

Veterans Programs:

Eligible Vets can get substance use disorder treatment, detox and MAT at no cost to them through the VA health care system. Locally, that includes the Hampton VA Medical Center Chesapeake Clinic and the Chesapeake Vet Center.

Military Insurance (TRICARE):

Given Chesapeake’s proximity to active military installations, many residents carry TRICARE, which covers inpatient and outpatient detox, residential treatment and MAT for active duty personnel and eligible military families.

Opioid Settlement Funding:

Chesapeake received $3.4 million through the Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority from national opioid manufacturer settlements. The money is being used to expand local treatment capacity and recovery support services.

Virginia 211:

Chesapeake residents can call or text 211 for free and confidential referral services. It can identify financial assistance, subsidized treatment programs and social services for people seeking substance use care.

Chesapeake, Virginia Regulations and Accreditation for Detox

Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS)

As Virginia’s primary state licensing authority for substance use disorder treatment facilities, DBHDS issues licenses, conducts compliance inspections and enforces minimum health, staff and safety standards. Additionally, residential SUD providers must obtain ASAM Level of Care certification with levels 3.1 through 3.7.

Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

DMAS administers Virginia’s Medicaid program, including the Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) benefit, which funds detox and SUD treatment across the continuum of care. DMAS sets reimbursement standards, certifies Medicaid enrolled SUD providers and contracts with managed care organizations to deliver ARTS services statewide, including in Chesapeake.

Chesapeake Health Department (Virginia Department of Health)

The Chesapeake Health Department keeps an eye on local overdose trends, distributes naloxone and provides education to help prevent overdoses in the community. Through the local REVIVE! opioid overdose and naloxone education program, the department also works with the VDH statewide data system to track overdose related ER visits and deaths in Chesapeake.

Key MAT Medications and Regulatory Status in Chesapeake

Medication assisted treatment in Chesapeake follows both federal and state rules. Federally, opioid treatment programs (OTP) must follow SAMHSA’s Opioid Treatment Program requirements. In Virginia, DBHDS licenses and monitors MAT providers. Providers are also expected to include behavioral therapy as part of treatment.

Buprenorphine:

Buprenorphine is a good first line option for opioid use disorder. It doesn’t require specialized licensing for office based or telehealth providers, which broadens accessibility. This is especially important when a residential program is hard to reach.

Methadone:

Methadone is available only through a SAMHSA certified Opioid Treatment Program. Most people in Chesapeake have to travel to Norfolk or Virginia Beach to get it. Virginia Medicaid covers it under the ARTS benefit.

Naltrexone:

Naltrexone is the easiest form of MAT to obtain. It’s not a controlled substance and doesn’t require special licensing to prescribe. It is used widely in the injectable form (Vivitrol) to treat both alcohol and opioid use disorders. Virginia Medicaid’s ARTS benefit covers it.

Overdose Prevention and Harm Reduction in Chesapeake

Harm reduction services, such as Chesapeake’s overdose prevention network, offer public outreach that includes distribution of naloxone at no cost, access to syringe services, fentanyl test strip distribution and overdose response training. Through the state’s Comprehensive Harm Reduction (CHR) framework, these services also act as a good first step for people who are not ready for treatment and can connect them to care at their own pace.

FAQs About Detox in Chesapeake, VA

Does Chesapeake have inpatient detox facilities, or will I need to travel?

About two inpatient detox programs are within 10 miles of Chesapeake. Most people receive their medically supervised detox in Norfolk, Virginia Beach or other Hampton Roads locations. You can access outpatient services and case management through Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare, which can connect you to the right level of care.

Is naloxone free in Chesapeake?

Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care) also covers naloxone at no cost for enrolled members. Chesapeake pharmacies are authorized to dispense naloxone without a prescription under Virginia’s statewide standing order.

What detox and treatment options are available for veterans in Chesapeake?

Veterans in Chesapeake can access the Hampton VA Medical Center’s Chesapeake Clinic for primary care and referrals, as well as the Chesapeake Vet Center, which provides substance use counseling and connects them with community resources.

Veterans who don’t live near a VA facility may be eligible for care at VA approved community partners through the VA Community Care Network.

How does Chesapeake's military population affect the local detox system?

Because Hampton Road has a large military and veteran population, many local treatment providers work with people who have TRICARE or VA coverage. TRICARE East covers inpatient, residential treatment and outpatient SUD services for active duty service members and eligible military families. Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare lists vets, active duty service members and military families as priority populations and accepts military insurance for payment.
