Lynchburg Virginia Drug Alcohol Rehab

Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Lynchburg, Virginia

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of the James River, Lynchburg is known as the “City of Seven Hills.” This “Hill City” is named for its founder, John Lynch, who launched a ferry service across James River in 1757. Since that day, Lynchburg has grown into a bustling city, home to five colleges and universities. Today, this dynamic town is also home to a growing drug threat. While less than 8% of area residents reported using illegal drugs in the past 30 days<sup>7</sup>, overdose deaths have been on the rise in recent years. And Virginia State Police reported in 2022 that they seized a new designer opioid in Campbell County, protonitazene – that is even more powerful than fentanyl.<sup>8</sup> These developments indicate a critical need for alcohol and drug rehab in Lynchburg, VA. There are only four treatment centers within 25 miles of the city so you may have to drive a bit further in order to find the right program for you.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Statistics in Lynchburg, VA

Levels of Substance Abuse Treatment

Many Virginians work their way through the following continuum of care levels. Others may begin treatment at one of the least restrictive levels.

Detox

Detox is often the initial step of treatment, which must be completed before you can transition to a formal SUD program. It is the process of safely and comfortably clearing your body of all drugs and alcohol. This occurs in a supervised setting such as a hospital or inpatient facility.

Residential or Inpatient

This is the most intensive treatment setting, involving 24/7 care. During residential treatment, you live at a rehab facility and participate in several forms of therapy, including individual and group therapy, medications, and recreational therapy.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

PHPs involve many of the same treatment methods used in inpatient care. However, you do not live at the facility. You return home during non-treatment times.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

This is a step down from PHPs. IOPs involve attending several hours of treatment throughout the week, which usually includes individual and group therapy.

Standard Outpatient

This is the least restrictive level of treatment. Standard outpatient programs involve a couple of hours of care per week. Virginians with a high level of motivation and a good support network typically experience success with this type of treatment.

Aftercare

Once inpatient or outpatient treatment is completed, aftercare provides continued support to prevent relapse. This may include 12-step meetings, transitional housing, or therapy.

How to Pay for Drug Rehab in Lynchburg, Virginia

Private Insurance

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires all insurance providers to cover substance abuse treatment to some extent. Because each plan differs regarding specific coverage, it is important for Virginia residents to confirm what their particular plan includes.

Virginia Medicaid

Virginia Medicaid is a government program that provides health insurance for low-income Virginia residents. To receive Medicaid, residents must meet income requirements and apply for the coverage.

Virginia Medicare

Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for Americans aged 65 and over and certain individuals with disabilities. To participate in the program, Virginians must meet requirements and pay a monthly premium based on income. Benefits may include coverage for substance abuse treatment, if the rehab facility chosen accepts Medicare as a form of payment.

TRICARE in Virginia

TRICARE in Virginia (East region) is a nationwide program that provides health insurance coverage for U.S. military personnel, veterans, and their dependents. Benefits include some coverage for addiction treatment services.

Sliding Scale Rehabs

Sliding scale rehabs charge Virginians only what they can afford to pay for treatment, based on their income. Residents must provide proof of income to qualify.

IHS-Funded Drug Rehabs

Indian Health Service (IHS) rehabs provide free or low-cost treatment for Native Americans and Native Alaskans who need SUD treatment.

Virginia Drug and Alcohol Laws

In Virginia, lawmakers have enacted the following policies to govern substance use, overdoses, and addiction treatment.1,2,3,4

Good Samaritan Law: In 2015, Virginia passed its Good Samaritan Law. This offers protection for individuals who use illicit substances and experience or witness an overdose. It encourages Virginia residents to call 911 without fear of legal repercussions for minor drug-related charges.

Employee Protections for Addiction Treatment: In Virginia, substance use disorders are considered a disability, per the Americans with Disabilities Act. This means employees are protected from discrimination for having a substance use disorder. However, this law does not prevent employers from taking disciplinary action against employees who use substances during work hours.

First-time Offender Program: First-time drug offenders in Virginia can use this program to avoid jail time. Virginia residents who are charged with possession can have charges deferred while they complete a program. Conditions may include community service, substance abuse education, substance abuse treatment, and random drug tests. Successful completion of all conditions can result in a dismissal of the drug charges.

Drug Trafficking: Virginia’s laws regarding drug trafficking are stringent. In this state, it is a felony to transport, sell, or import even small amounts of controlled substances. This includes one or more ounces of Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances such as cocaine, meth, morphine, PCP, and Ritalin, as well as five or more pounds of marijuana.
