Evidence-Based Treatment Programs
- Medically Supervised Detoxification — Clinical withdrawal guided by CIWA (alcohol) and COWS (opioid) severity scales; reduces acute medical risk and bridges patients into ongoing evidence-based care
- Residential Rehabilitation — NIDA-endorsed therapeutic community model; 90-day programs demonstrate significantly higher 12-month abstinence rates than shorter formats across multiple controlled trials
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — Delivers residential-equivalent therapeutic hours for patients not requiring 24-hour medical supervision; validated as an effective step-down by SAMHSA outcomes data
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) — Minimum 9 hours/week of evidence-based group and individual therapy; NSDUH data confirms IOP effectiveness for mild-to-moderate SUD at ASAM Level 2.1
- Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) — Gold-standard model addressing SUD and psychiatric disorders simultaneously rather than sequentially; reduces relapse, hospitalization, and criminal justice involvement
- Pharmacotherapy / MAT — Cochrane systematic review confirms buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone reduce illicit opioid use, disease transmission, and criminal activity among enrolled patients
DBHDS-licensed facilities serving Orange apply ASAM Patient Placement Criteria: medically managed inpatient (Level 4), medically monitored residential (Level 3.7), clinically managed residential (Level 3.5), partial hospitalization (Level 2.5), and intensive outpatient (Level 2.1).

SAMHSA and NIDA endorse FDA-approved MAT — buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone), naltrexone (Vivitrol), or methadone — as first-line OUD treatment.

Choosing the Right Recovery Environment in Virginia
- Local vs. Away Treatment — Local programs preserve employment and family connections; away programs remove exposure to triggers and negative peer networks — the right choice depends on your specific situation
- Verify DBHDS Licensure — Regardless of location, marketing, or referral source, confirm active DBHDS licensure at dbhds.virginia.gov; this is the non-negotiable baseline for any Virginia facility
- Tour or Virtually Visit the Facility — Evaluate staff-to-patient ratios, individual session frequency, group therapy size, quiet space availability, and access to on-site psychiatric consultation
- Confirm ASAM-Based Placement — Not Marketing-Based — The appropriate level of care must be determined by formal ASAM assessment, not by whatever open beds a facility happens to be promoting
- Look for Peer Recovery Specialist Integration — Programs connecting patients with certified peer recovery specialists (CPRS) during and post-treatment demonstrate measurably better 12-month outcomes per SAMHSA research
