Adult Outpatient Services

Adult Outpatient Services (AOS) is a substance use treatment program in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operated by the City of Virginia Beach Department of Human Services.

Located on Independence Boulevard, AOS serves as a same-day-access entry point for adults seeking outpatient care for substance use, mental health and co-occurring disorders.

The program takes an integrated, evidence based approach that connects clients to counseling, medication management and practical recovery supports.

Same Day Access Addiction Treatment

Treatment typically begins with a same-day access assessment, which identifies each person's needs and leads to tailored treatment recommendations and referrals.

Outpatient care is the primary level of service, so no overnight stay is required.

Clients can expect individual, group and family counseling, along with relapse prevention and trauma-related support.

AOS uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and the Matrix Model, and offers medication assisted treatment with buprenorphine and naltrexone for opioid use disorders.
