Alcohol Detox and Residential Treatment in Portsmouth, VA

Our Portsmouth location provides a structured and supportive residential treatment program for individuals in the early stages of alcohol recovery. The program includes 24/7 medical supervision during detox, intensive therapeutic support, and skill-building activities to help clients manage cravings, identify triggers, and build a strong foundation for a sober lifestyle.

Outpatient Alcohol Rehab in Chesapeake, VA

For those transitioning from inpatient care or needing more flexibility, our Chesapeake facility offers a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These programs allow clients to receive high-quality alcohol addiction treatment while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. Outpatient treatment includes therapy, peer support, and case management focused on relapse prevention and long-term wellness.

Recognizing the Signs of Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol use disorder can impact anyone, regardless of background. Some signs that you or a loved one may need help include:

  • Drinking more or longer than intended
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms without alcohol
  • Hiding or lying about drinking habits
  • Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Relationship, job, or legal issues due to alcohol use

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, Safe Harbor Recovery Center is here to help.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Many individuals struggling with alcohol addiction also experience mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis treatment approach ensures that both substance use and mental health conditions are treated simultaneously for more effective and lasting recovery.

    Aftercare and Continuing Support in Virginia

    Recovery from alcohol addiction doesn’t end after detox or rehab. Safe Harbor Recovery Center offers comprehensive aftercare services, including alumni support, ongoing therapy, life skills coaching, and spiritual wellness programs. We also utilize Trac 9, a proprietary tool that monitors relapse risk and treatment readiness throughout the recovery journey.

        Our Evaluation Methods

        Beginning with the initial evaluation, Safe Harbor Recovery Center clinicians use Trac 9 to track treatment readiness, cravings, relapse risk, and the risk of early treatment termination. This proprietary assessment tool has strong empirical support and is a feature unique to Safe Harbor Recovery Center and Summit Behavioral Health Care.

        Residential Treatment

        Residential treatment provides a structured environment for men and women in the early stages of recovery. Treatment includes intensive individual and group therapy to address the underlying issues contributing to the development of an alcohol use disorder. Guests also build the foundation for a sober lifestyle by learning to recognize triggers, manage cravings, socialize while sober, and find healthy ways to cope with stressful situations.

        Continuing Care

        Unfortunately, alcohol use disorder is classified as a chronic illness, meaning that recovery is an ongoing process. Even after completing residential treatment, individuals are not “cured” and must continue to engage in counseling, peer support, and other recovery efforts to build a stable, sober future.

        Safe Harbor Recovery Center offers extensive transitional and aftercare services designed to support ongoing recovery and prevent relapse. These plans address vital aspects such as managing co-occurring mental health disorders, developing essential life skills, nurturing spiritual wellness, and securing ongoing support systems. Individuals are also guided in setting achievable short-term and long-term goals to facilitate a smooth transition back into independent living and maintain sobriety. This holistic approach ensures a well-rounded recovery experience, promoting wellness and sustainable change.
