Behavioral Healthcare Services Portsmouth

The City of Portsmouth offers behavioral healthcare services through its outpatient clinic in Portsmouth, Virginia. Treatment services include medication assisted treatment (MAT) for detox and maintenance. I like that they offer same day access and behavioral health treatment services for all ages, including children as young as four.

You can pay for treatment using most private health insurance plans. The clinic also offers an income based sliding fee scale for uninsured clients. They may have some state funded services for eligible individuals. The clinic is conveniently located near Turnpike Park and other local attractions in downtown.

Addiction Treatment Approach in Portsmouth

The clinic's mission is to provide comprehensive treatment services for clients with intellectual disabilities, mental health issues, substance misuse, and those with co-occurring disorders. They emphasize early intervention to reduce the wait for services, especially for high priority populations, which include IV drug users, pregnant women, and those with HIV.

Exceptional Care and Service

I noticed that the clinic is near the historic districts of Portsmouth, where there are many scenic areas and beautiful places to walk along the waterfront. The clinic itself has a medical atmosphere, but one with plenty of warm lights and bright decor.

Clients in the program mention “exceptional care, service, and medication management.” One client noted that even after moving away from the area, she drove back to the clinic for the services.
