Short Pump has grown fast, from farmland and a single crossroads a few decades ago to Short Pump Town Center, West Broad Village, and established neighborhoods like Wyndham and Twin Hickory. It’s become one of the busiest parts of western Henrico.
Yet, addiction affects families here the same as anywhere else2. If you or someone you love is struggling with drugs or alcohol, help is only a short drive away—and you don’t have to wait for a crisis to reach out. Below is what treatment near Short Pump1 involves, what it costs, and how to get started.
Is There Drug Rehab in Short Pump, VA?
The closest residential program to Short Pump is Freedom Recovery Centers (FRC), a CARF-accredited, 60-bed facility in Richmond, VA.
While there are outpatient options closer to home3, residential care may be more appropriate when you or a loved one is struggling to quit substance use. Residential care is a higher level of support, with several weeks living on site, with clinicians on hand around the clock. It also takes you out of your regular routine, away from common substance use triggers so you can put your full attention toward your recovery and develop appropriate coping mechanisms and relapse prevention strategies4.
Detox and Residential Treatment: What’s the Difference?
These two get used interchangeably, but they aren’t necessarily the same thing.
Detox involves the process of clearing your body of the abused substance5. This can take days or a week or so, depending on frequency and intensity of use. In many cases, it’s important to have medical supervision and staff nearby. Withdrawal can lead to complications and scary symptoms; with FRC, our staff monitors you around the clock, ensuring your safety and comfort.
Residential treatment is what comes after your initial detox. It’s where you begin the deep work of understanding and untangling why substance use became part of your life to begin with6. In many cases, this involves co-occurring conditions which our staff will help you address.
What Does a Residential Program at FRC Involve?
While your specific treatment plan depends on your story and evaluation, generally, many residential treatment plans involve one-on-one counseling that digs into what substance abuse was covering up or helping you cope with. You’ll also sit in group therapy sessions, building community and understanding with others who have walked similar paths.
On top of the above, you may also participate in anger management sessions, learn new life skills, adopt new health and wellness habits, and address any trauma that may be contributing to your usage.
You’ll have clinical staff available around the clock and a community small enough that people learn your name. No one here needs a backstory or an explanation of how it got this far.
And before you leave, our staff will help you with relapse prevention strategies, as well as refer you to outpatient support groups.
How Much Does Treatment Cost?
Without insurance, a 30-day residential stay in Virginia usually costs $16,000 to $45,000. With a PPO plan, out-of-pocket costs more often land between $6,000 and $20,000.
This is because every health plan sold in Virginia is required to cover substance use treatment. However, if you’re unsure, our team is here to help. Our admissions team can verify your insurance coverage before you commit. Call us at 804-635-3746 to verify yours today.
