GHR Center for Addiction Recovery and Treatment

The GHR Center for Addiction Recovery and Treatment is an outpatient rehab for drug and alcohol addiction in Norfolk, Virginia. They actually have two main levels of programs here which are their intensive outpatient program and their outpatient program.

The IOP is designed for people who have already completed a residential rehab or who don’t need that level of treatment. Depending on your needs you’ll have anywhere from nine to 19 hours per week in this program. The outpatient program is a step down after you’ve finished your IOP. They offer ongoing counseling while you transition into more independence in your recovery.

The programs here mostly use a group counseling model. You’ll have groups to not only discuss and process the issues that impact your addiction but also educate you about addiction and relapse prevention. They even have specialty groups when appropriate like stress management groups and expressive therapy groups as well as gender specific groups for men and women. They also provide medication assisted treatment to help with your recovery like Suboxone for opioid addiction and medications for other addictions too.

What I found most impressive about this rehab though is the feedback from clients. Clients say that the staff here truly cares about them and their wellbeing and that they feel like they’re working toward sobriety as a team.
