The Path To Recovery
Addiction treatment begins with a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, delving into various dimensions of an individual’s substance use disorder, including mental health, familial dynamics, trauma history, and potential obstacles to recovery. This assessment serves as the cornerstone for crafting a personalized treatment plan in collaboration with the client, targeting their specific needs and aspirations.
By customizing treatment plans, clients and clinicians can navigate their journey with clarity, effectively tackling the root causes of addiction, such as underlying emotions and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Our clinical addiction program in Virginia fosters a trusting and transparent therapeutic alliance, empowering clients to confront the triggers of addictive behaviors and enact lasting changes conducive to sobriety.
Integrating Holistic Modalities With Clinical Practices
Addiction necessitates a comprehensive approach, impacting various aspects of one's life. Our interdisciplinary team, comprising skilled professionals, ensures each client receives top-notch care. Collaborating closely, we offer a spectrum of services including medical care, neurofeedback, acudetox, nutrition services, case management, psychological evaluations, massage therapy, reiki, and yoga. Additionally, we employ diverse therapeutic approaches and interventions, grounded in evidence-based practices, to address addiction effectively at every stage of treatment.

Small And Intimate Connections
In contrast to larger treatment centers, our intimate therapeutic groups, capped at 8 clients and facilitated by 1-2 counselors, foster a profound sense of safety and trust. This setup encourages clients to engage authentically in their healing journey, sharing their struggles and receiving support from both peers and counselors. Every individual is afforded personalized attention, ensuring they receive tailored treatment that equips them with the necessary tools for sustained long-term recovery.

A Day at BTG
The clinical program is the backbone of our services. Each day is structured in a similar manner with rotating programming filling the different time slots. In the afternoons, for example, we rotate the topics for the 1pm and 2pm groups to include a wide range of programming including living skills, cooking classes, DBT sessions, 12-step programs, meditation, spirituality, music therapy, and more. During the afternoon clients also attend weekly individual counseling sessions, medical appointments, and neurofeedback.

The BTG Difference
In order to create a healthy, sustainable recovery from drugs and alcohol, it is important to address the root cause. So our partial hospitalization services includes rebalancing brain chemistry, utilizing comprehensive psychotherapy, implementing proper nutrition, and nourishing one’s spirituality.
Our long-term continuum of care allows our clients to progress through our program at a pace that fits the severity of their disease, allowing them adequate time to heal that is unique to their individual situation. Research has shown that clients who stay engaged in treatment for longer have better long-term results once treatment is completed.
Our supportive sober living allows clients to reintegrate into society safely, allowing them to utilize their newly-acquired life skills and coping mechanisms in everyday situations as they continue to benefit from a sober community. Our 3 residences provide the comforts of home with added support and accountability.
Trauma-Informed Care
All our staff are trained in trauma-informed care, a philosophy that shifts focus from "what is wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" This approach fosters sensitivity to clients' experiences, reducing shame and weaving trauma-informed principles into all aspects of our work. While trauma treatment isn't the primary focus, we acknowledge its role in addiction. For clients ready to address trauma, we offer interventions like brainspotting and narrative therapy in a continuum of care, ensuring safety and support in our sober living house. This deeper work can be profoundly transformative for individuals, integrating past experiences into their life narratives for lasting healing.
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Interventions
Each client is assigned a primary counselor at the time of admission who will work closely with the client over the course of their treatment. Clients collaborate with their counselor to develop an individualized treatment plan that serves as a roadmap to achieve the client’s personal goals and objectives. The client receives one-on-one counseling each week to dive deeper into their personal concerns. Clinicians maintain a small caseload (5 clients or less) so each client receives a lot of individual attention and care.
The clinical methods and addiction treatment therapies we use at BTG are evidence-based, and effective, and work together as an integrative whole. Clients can understand and address the underlying core issues associated with their addiction. BTG’s integrated treatment model involves evidenced-based addiction treatment methods.
Healing The Family System
Addiction affects not just the client but the entire family. Family support and engagement are crucial for long-term sobriety.
We offer various opportunities for families to participate in their loved one’s treatment and build their own support systems. Our staff educates families on addiction's impact and provides strategies for moving forward together.
Our family services include:
● Regular updates and support from a credentialed clinician.● Weekly psycho-education sessions covering addiction, healthy boundaries, codependency, and more.● Conjoint therapeutic sessions to foster healthy communication and address resistance to change.
