Pathways Recovery Lodge

About Pathways Recovery Lodge – Amherst, Virginia

Pathways Recovery Lodge is an alcohol and drug rehab center located in Amherst, Virginia. They provide a continuum of care that begins with medically supervised detox and ends with aftercare treatment. The services offered are for both men and women.

Pathways Recovery Lodge provides detox, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient services.

The detox program at Pathways Recovery Lodge is a medically supervised detox program. Detoxification provides stabilization and allows for the removal of toxic substances to be removed from the body. During this process, without proper supervision, detox can be uncomfortable or even lethal. Through medically supervised detox, trained professionals oversee the detox and use medications to support comfort as much as possible. The length of detox and the method used varies depending on what is best for each person.

Residential treatment is for individuals who need a high level of support and accountability during the initial phase of their recovery. Mental, emotional, and physical stability is a primary focus. Once this is achieved, deeper inner work is started. This can include individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, and addiction educational classes. Specific topics may include emotional regulation, anger management, trauma-informed care, relapse prevention, and life skills classes such as financial stability, education, and workforce readiness.

Outpatient treatment programming is a more flexible approach to addiction treatment that is a step down from partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs. This service provides continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes on addiction and recovery. Medications may be managed and for those in need, trauma support may also be offered. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society.

Individual therapy creates the space to explore the psychological challenges associated with the addiction. With the help of a professional, individuals are given the space and direction to talk about and process their emotions. Often this includes unresolved trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and the need for more control or autonomy in life.
