About Norfolk Community Health Center
You’ll find Norfolk Community Health Center just north of Huntsville Park in Norfolk, Virginia. This center specializes in podiatry and family medicine, but can refer clients seeking substance use disorder and mental health services to the nearby Norfolk Community Services Center on Tidewater. Between the two, you’ll have a broad range of supportive services for your physical and mental well being.
Note that this location accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. It’s worth mentioning that a number of public transportation routes stop at or near the center.
Preemptive and Preventive Care
When you consult with a drug treatment provider, they’ll often collaborate and coordinate care with your primary care providers. This partnership works both ways, too, as physicians are responsible for making referrals to specialists for care beyond their scope, such as drug and alcohol addiction recovery.
So, seeking treatment here can be a gateway to ongoing SUD treatment while at the same time playing an ongoing role in it.
Smoking Cessation
One physician here, Dianna B. White, specializes in tobacco use disorder. This is a great service on its own or in tandem with addiction care, because addictive behaviors can be linked together. Addressing additional addictions alongside your alcohol or drug abuse can increase your chances of success at long term sobriety.
