About AppleGate Recovery Richmond – Richmond
AppleGate Recovery Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, was an outpatient opioid addiction treatment facility for adults. The facility utilized medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help clients recover from substance use disorder. The staff members that clients would work with included nurse practitioners and doctors. While the Richmond location is closed, AppleGate Recovery has locations in West Virginia, Maryland and other states throughout the southeast.
The facility focused heavily on helping individuals build a support system that would support their recovery. Clients would have the support of their counselors as well as the support of their peers in group counseling sessions. They were also encouraged to rebuild ties with their families and attend 12 Step meetings.
Buprenorphine and Suboxone were used to help prevent withdrawal symptoms and help clients focus more on addressing the cause of their addiction in counseling. Unlike methadone clinics, clients were prescribed these medications so they wouldn’t have to be at the facility as frequently and have more time to take care of their daily responsibilities.
AppleGate Recovery could be contacted anytime for refills on medication. Along with more time for daily responsibilities, clients also had more time to practice living a sober lifestyle by seeing the interesting attractions that Richmond offered. They could visit various unique museums such as The Poe Museum and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
The facility offered case management services to help clients remove any barriers to their recovery. Case managers could get clients access to resources such as public benefits, housing and employment. They also referred clients to other services or programs that could help with recovery.
