Virginia at dusk

This directory covers 247 substance use treatment facilities across Virginia, drawn from SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov listings. Of those, 100 are centers with a full listing here, spread across Richmond (11), the western part of the state (5), Alexandria (5), Glen Allen (4), Virginia Beach (4), Norfolk (4), Williamsburg (4), Arlington (3), Lynchburg (3), Fairfax (3), Hampton (2), Roanoke (2), Ashburn (2), Hopewell (2) and Annandale (2). Each entry shows the levels of care offered, such as outpatient, inpatient or detox services, plus the payment types a program reports accepting, including Virginia Medicaid where noted.

A listing describes what a facility reports, not how good it is. Compare Virginia rehab centers by level of care, payment accepted and distance from home rather than by marketing language. A program that lists outpatient services may still send you elsewhere for withdrawal care, and one that reports accepting Medicaid may have a waiting list. Our helpline connects callers with licensed treatment providers through trained advisors, costs nothing, stays private, and commits the caller to nothing. Call to check availability and coverage before you travel.

A quiet moment of recovery

Compare Virginia alcohol rehab options

  • Start with the level of care

    Outpatient, inpatient and detox are different commitments. Ask what a program actually provides on site and what it refers out. If someone drinks heavily every day, then withdrawal safety should shape which level you look at first.

  • Check payment before you visit

    Listings show payment types a facility reports accepting, including Virginia Medicaid, private insurance and self-pay. If Medicaid is your coverage, then confirm the specific program is in network before making the trip.

  • Weigh location honestly

    A center two hours away can work for residential care but not for daily outpatient visits. If you need several sessions a week, then a nearby Virginia Beach or Richmond program may fit better than a distant one.

  • Ask what happens at discharge

    Good programs plan the next step before someone leaves. Ask whether they arrange follow-up appointments, connect people to mutual support groups, or help with housing. If discharge planning is vague, then keep comparing other centers.

How many alcohol treatment centers are there in Virginia?

There are 247 facilities listed on SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov for Virginia as of November 2026, and 100 of them have a full listing in this directory. That includes centers in Richmond, Alexandria, Virginia Beach, Norfolk and smaller cities across the state. The count tells you how many options exist, not which one suits a particular person.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover alcohol treatment?

Many facilities in this directory report accepting Virginia Medicaid, but coverage depends on the specific service and the plan. If Medicaid is your coverage, then ask the program directly whether the level of care you need is covered and whether prior authorization is required. Our helpline can help you check which listed centers report accepting it.

What is a residential rehabilitation program?

A residential program means someone lives at the facility while receiving treatment, usually for a set number of weeks. It suits people who need structure away from their usual environment or who have not done well with outpatient care. If you are considering residential care, then ask about length of stay and what the daily schedule includes.

Why should alcohol withdrawal be overseen by a clinician?

Heavy drinking changes how the body functions, and stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal that ranges from uncomfortable to dangerous, including seizures. MedlinePlus notes that timing and severity vary by person. A clinician can assess risk and monitor safely. If someone has been drinking heavily, then arrange a medical evaluation before stopping rather than managing it alone.

How do I choose among the alcohol treatment centers in Virginia?

Begin with the level of care, since outpatient, inpatient and detox are different commitments. Then check payment, including whether a program reports accepting Virginia Medicaid. Location matters for daily visits. With 247 SAMHSA-listed facilities, narrowing by these practical points first helps. Our helpline can help you compare options without pressure.

What does a treatment center listing on this site show?

Each listing shows the levels of care a facility reports offering, such as outpatient, inpatient or detox, and the payment types it reports accepting, including Virginia Medicaid where noted. Listings come from SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov and reflect what facilities report, not ratings or outcomes. Use them to start a conversation, then confirm details directly with the program.

Those listings are a starting point, though open beds change from one week to the next. When you call our helpline, trained advisors link you to licensed treatment providers at no cost to you. Nothing is expected of you afterward, and the call stays private. Advisors can look into whether a center currently has a bed open and takes your insurance or Virginia Medicaid. If the right level of care is unclear, begin with that question and work outward from there.
