The Recovery Place

The Recovery Place is an addiction and dual diagnosis unit containing a freestanding medical detoxification program as well as a rehabilitation program. Patients in The Recovery Place receive the tools and education they need to live a chemical-free life. It is the first step in the life-long process of recovery.

12-Steps

At The Recovery Place, we emphasize the 12-Step model of recovery. We offer several program tracks allowing persons in different phases of recovery to gain education and insight into their addiction.

Focus is on:

• Medical management
• Introduction to the disease process
• Transition into the next appropriate level of care

Group Therapy Goals

• Providing knowledge of chemical dependency as a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease.
• Exposing patients to the 12-Step recovery process, sponsorship and support groups.
• Promoting awareness of the medical, emotional and spiritual components that lead to increased alcohol and/or drug consumption.
• Educating patients about psychiatric illness and the importance of remaining abstinent from drugs and alcohol when psychiatric illness is a factor.
• Promoting family participation as well as enhancing the family's insight and understanding of chemical dependency and how it may impact the entire family.

Aftercare

After leaving the program, we encourage each patient to participate on an outpatient basis through Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center's free weekly Aftercare and Multi-Family programs. We also offer a partial-day substance abuse program to those patients who feel they need more support without staying in the hospital.
