With its coal-mining heritage, Midlothian is a primarily family-friendly area in Virginia, featuring cul-de-sacs and strategic urban design. But this doesn’t mean everyone is doing well. Addiction can happen to anyone.
And if you’re reading this, maybe you’ve been managing it for years, but it’s become harder and harder to hide. Or maybe you’re a parent or a spouse who has been watching for months, with growing worry and concern.

When it comes down to it, you don’t need to hit rock bottom to get help. In fact, the earlier someone gets help, the better. So, how can you or a loved one finally get the help you need? Below, we take a closer look at what drug rehab in Midlothian, VA can look like (and how you or your loved one can get started today).
Is There Drug Rehab in Midlothian, VA?
Yes, Freedom Recovery Centers (FRC) is a CARF-accredited, 60-bed residential treatment center in North Chesterfield1, a short drive from Midlothian. Our team works with families across 23112, 23113, and 23114, and we’re passionate about helping individuals struggling with substance abuse overcome their demons and pave the way toward a healthier and happier life.
Midlothian itself has outpatient counselors and support groups. But residential treatment means living on site for several weeks with 24/7 clinical care, away from the routines that substance use has become associated with. This allows you or your loved one to focus on why they’re using and develop coping mechanisms to stop, as well as avoid relapse.
Addiction in Chesterfield County and Across Virginia
In 2025, there was 1,196 overdose deaths among Virginia residents2. But this actually showed a 23% decrease from the year before, and a steep drop from the 2021 peak of 2,622.
This is what progress looks like. Various programs have put naloxone in more hands, which has undeniably saved countless lives.
However, recent state data also show that roughly seven in ten overdose deaths in Virginia involve fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, or tramadol. Fentanyl is now found in counterfeit pills and in other substances such as cocaine, often unbeknownst to the user3. And the DEA considers two milligrams a potentially deadly dose (an amount that fits on the tip of a pencil). All of this means that the risk associated with substance use is higher than ever before.
What is Residential Treatment for Substance Use?
At Freedom Recovery Centers (FRC), our team is here to love you until you can love yourself again. We walk with you every step of the way. It all starts with one call.
From there, your treatment starts with medically supervised detox, on-site. The truth is that withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids can be dangerous to attempt alone4. With our team, you have 24/7 monitoring by our medical staff. They can also help make you more comfortable when withdrawal symptoms arise.
Once detox is complete, your treatment may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Group therapy
- SMART recovery
- Life skills development
- Relapse prevention
- Trauma-informed care
- Talk therapy
- And more. 5
Each treatment plan is built around you and your needs. Everyone has a different story, and we’re here to listen.
How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost in Virginia?
Every health plan sold in Virginia, including employer coverage, ACA marketplace plans, and Medicaid, must include substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit6. Federal parity rules mean an insurer can’t place stricter limits on addiction care than on other medical care. Medicaid members are also covered through Virginia’s ARTS benefit.
Without insurance, a 30-day residential program in Virginia generally costs between $16,000 and $45,000. With PPO coverage, out-of-pocket costs more commonly fall within the $6,000 to $20,000 range.
We always recommend checking your specific insurance plan to verify what’s included or what deductibles may need to be met. If this is too much right now, our admissions team can help verify your benefits at no cost, helping you take that very first step. Call us at 804-635-3746 today.
