About The Barry Robinson Center

The Barry Robinson Center is a nonprofit, CARF accredited behavioral health center in Norfolk, Virginia, providing residential treatment for military connected youth ages 11 to 17 years. The center treats emotional and behavioral difficulties alongside co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.

They use a holistic, person centered model. Its team of therapists, teachers, counselors, doctors, nurses and dietitians works together to help young people heal and return home successfully.

Residential Treatment For Military Connected Youth

I like that the center's core offering is a residential program tailored to adolescents from military families, with staff specifically trained in military lifestyle and culture.

Each resident receives an individualized treatment plan built from a thorough assessment, with an average stay of about 6 months and discharge planning that begins on day 1. Care includes individual therapy twice weekly, daily group therapy and activities, weekly family therapy and medication management.

Treatment also incorporates recreational therapy and art activities to support the whole child. Families describe caring staff and meaningful progress, with one testimonial simply stating, "BRC is wonderful!"

Dual Diagnosis Substance Use Care

It’s good to know that for teens facing cooccurring substance use challenges, the center integrates The Seven Challenges program into its broader psychiatric and behavioral treatment. This structured, dual diagnosis approach addresses substance use and mental health together rather than as separate tracks.

An onsite, fully accredited K12 school with small classes keeps education connected to each resident's overall plan.

Access, Insurance and Next Steps

The Barry Robinson Center offers on campus residential care at its Norfolk location near the Virginia Beach border, serving military connected families across the U.S. and overseas.

The center is TRICARE approved and works with most major insurers, along with Medicaid in select states, self pay and financial aid options. Reach out to learn how the center can support your family's path forward.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

When individuals choose a young adult program in Virginia, they have the opportunity to participate in a supportive and safe program specifically designed for people in their teens and twenties. Treatment helps them make choices during this stage of life that lead to healthy, long-term recovery.

Adult Program

An adult program in Virginia is often the ideal solution for individuals struggling with substance use. Care is available at different intensity levels, based on individual situations, and a variety of treatment methods are used, to meet each person’s unique needs.

Men's Rehab

At men’s rehab in Virginia, participants don’t have to feel the need to hide their struggles. Men can share emotions and challenges freely and get the support they need.

Women's Rehab

Women’s rehab in Virginia often allows participants to find their voices for the first time. The safe, caring environment nurtures relationships with other women and helps women discover who they are and how to live a life without substances.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

In an addiction treatment setting, cognitive behavioral therapy in Virginia is helpful because it targets triggers and helps individuals develop healthy coping skills. It focuses on changing thoughts and related behaviors. This is ideal for relapse prevention.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Drug and alcohol rehab in Virginia often takes place in an inpatient rehab setting. This means living at the treatment center under 24/7 clincial supervision while you receive various treatments. Typical methods include individual and group therapy, medication, and dietary counseling.

Outpatient Rehab

Virginia outpatient rehab typically requires a few hours of treatment per week. You’ll be asked to attend group meetings such as NA or AA as well as one-on-one sessions with a recovery expert. This treatment may last for a few weeks or many months, depending on your needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Substance abuse and mental illness often go hand in hand. When they co-occur, it is crucial to treat both disorders. A Virginia dual diagnosis treatment center offers the integrated approach necessary to address all issues involved.

If you have private health insurance, you can use it to help cover the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in Virginia. The amount covered may depend on your policy and whether the treatment center is in-network or out-of-network. You may be left with some costs like a co-payment, or co-insurance.
