About SAARA of Virginia

The Substance Abuse and Addiction Recovery Alliance (SAARA) of Virginia in Richmond advocates for, educates, and supports communities, families, and clients who have been affected by the disease of addiction and substance use disorders.

Their mission is to offer hope, education, and advocacy for the prevention, treatment, and recovery of addiction, and I think it’s valuable that they address so many aspects of the addiction crisis. Communities and clients are provided with knowledge, support, and resources for lasting recovery.

Substance Use and Addiction Trainings

A special effort is made for populations underrepresented such as minorities, the LGBTQIA+ community, pregnant people and new mothers, and students. Training sessions are offered for adults who are in recovery from substance use to be a peer mentor for struggling individuals.

Another training session is for peer recovery specialists regarding ethical decisions. Revive! training teaches harm reduction through Opioid Overdose and Naloxone Education (OONE). The Advocacy 101 training uses storytelling to seek policy changes in legislation that benefits recovery.

Resources and Referrals through SAARA

The organization has compiled a number of resources and is able to make referrals for mental health support, housing, recovery, and education. The center offers group programs, trainings, recovery support, peer mentoring, and meetings. I was glad to see that clients describe the staff as being like family and being non judgemental toward clients. Recovery luncheons and awards are frequently sponsored by SAARA.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible.... Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.

Free Rehab

Most states offer free alcohol and drug rehabs through public mental health and addiction treatment centers. T...hese centers often provide detox, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), and support groups. You must meet certain requirements in order to qualify for free alcohol and drug rehabs, such as lack of income and insurance.

Self-pay g...ives you access to all levels of care — including detox in Virginia, and inpatient rehab in Virginia — without the restrictions of private insurers who can control how long you access and more, are accessible through self-pay options.
