As of November 2026, SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov lists 8 facilities in Virginia Beach, and most are outpatient. Seven of the eight offer outpatient services, four provide intensive outpatient, and three provide partial hospitalization. Only two list detox, and none list residential. People who need 24-hour residential care often look beyond the immediate area, while many can begin with outpatient and step up if needed.
Buprenorphine for medication support appears at seven facilities, and two of those are opioid treatment programs. Dual diagnosis care, meaning help for someone with an addiction disorder and a mental health condition, is listed at five. Medicaid is accepted at six, Medicare at four, and seven take private insurance. Teen services are listed at three sites and veteran services at three, useful details if age or background shapes your search.
The listings do not say how far each facility sits from the Virginia Beach oceanfront or Town Center, so check the address before you commit to a schedule. If you need daily visits, then a center across the city can make a 9 a.m. group hard to keep. Start with the level of care and the location, then call to confirm the current wait and intake hours.
For residents who need structured evening care, an IOP in Virginia Beach may work better than a distant program. Dual diagnosis is also listed at five, so ask how substance use and mental health issues are treated together.
There are no residential listings in Virginia Beach, so if you need 24-hour care, the advisor can look at other Virginia rehabs. A residential program in Virginia means leaving the area for a set number of days, then returning to outpatient here. Ask about family visits, phone access, and the discharge plan before you choose.
