Rehabs that take Medicaid in Virginia

Virginia's Medicaid program covers substance use disorder treatment through its addiction benefit, and the specific services a member can use — outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment, withdrawal management, residential care — depend on the managed care plan and on an assessment of medical need. Every one of the 363 Virginia centers listed here reports accepting Medicaid, but acceptance is not the same as approval for a particular service, so confirm both with your plan and with the facility.

Have your Medicaid card and member ID in front of you, call the member services number printed on the back, and ask which addiction treatment services your plan covers, whether the facility you have in mind is in network, and whether prior authorization or a screening assessment is required first. Then call the facility with the same questions — intake staff verify Medicaid daily and can tell you what they usually see approved for your plan.

Withdrawal management is part of Virginia's Medicaid addiction benefit, but Medicaid detox coverage is usually tied to a clinical assessment of what level of withdrawal support you need, and not every listed program offers detox on site. Ask the facility whether they provide medically monitored withdrawal or refer out for it, and ask your plan what authorization it requires.

Filter the Virginia listings by city or region and by the level of care you want, then look at what each facility reports. If nothing suitable is within driving distance, note that 318 of the 363 centers listed report virtual or telehealth services, which changes what "near me" has to mean in parts of the state where the nearest program is over a mountain.

Members generally pay little or nothing for covered addiction services under Medicaid, but Medicaid alcohol treatment cost still depends on your plan, your eligibility category, whether the provider is in network, and whether a service needs authorization. No directory can quote your out-of-pocket amount — ask your plan and get the facility's answer in writing where you can.

Being listed as accepting Medicaid is what the facility reports; being in network for your particular managed care plan is a contract question. Ask the facility which Virginia Medicaid plans it contracts with by name, and ask your plan to confirm the provider on their end before your first appointment.

Yes — 261 of the 363 Virginia centers listed report offering medication-assisted treatment, and Virginia Medicaid covers medications for opioid use disorder as part of its addiction benefit. Availability of a specific medication varies by program, so ask which ones a facility prescribes and whether counseling is required alongside it.

Yes. Of the Virginia centers listed, 180 report serving adolescents aged 13 to 17, and 314 report serving people 65 and older, with 288 also accepting Medicare for members who have both. Age ranges served are reported by each facility, so confirm before scheduling.
