Your Path to Recovery with Expert Addiction Treatment
Addiction can affect every part of your life—your health, relationships, work, and sense of self. Overcoming it requires more than willpower; it takes personalized, compassionate care designed to support lasting recovery. At Virginia Integrative Psychiatry, we are committed to guiding each individual on their unique path to wellness with expert, evidence-based treatment.
We provide comprehensive care for many types of addiction, including opioid dependency using Suboxone, benzodiazepine withdrawal, marijuana dependency, alcoholism, sex addiction, and gambling addiction. Our integrative approach addresses both the physical and mental aspects of addiction, helping patients heal fully and regain control of their lives. By combining medical expertise, therapy, and ongoing support, we empower individuals to restore balance, rebuild confidence, and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling future.
Understanding Addiction and its Impact
Addiction is a complex condition where people continue using substances or engaging in behaviors even when they cause harm. It changes brain chemistry, affecting decision-making, self-control, and the brain’s reward system, which makes recovery difficult without professional help.
Addiction comes in many forms, including opioid dependency, benzodiazepine withdrawal, and behavioral addictions like gambling or sex addiction. Each type requires a personalized treatment plan that considers a person’s history, mental health, genetics, and environment. Tailoring care to both physical and psychological needs gives individuals the best chance for lasting recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Opioid Dependency and Suboxone Treatment
Opioids, including prescription painkillers and heroin, carry a high risk of dependence and overdose. At Virginia Integrative Psychiatry, we use Suboxone—a medication combining buprenorphine and naloxone—to help patients safely reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone works by blocking the effects of opioids in the brain, allowing patients to stabilize and participate in counseling and therapy.
Suboxone treatment often combines medication with therapy, like CBT, to help manage triggers and build healthy coping skills. Care is personalized and closely monitored to ensure safety, support detox, and promote long-term recovery.
Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Management
Benzodiazepines, often called “benzos,” are commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and other related conditions. While effective, long-term use can lead to physical dependence, making withdrawal challenging and potentially risky without medical supervision. At Virginia Integrative Psychiatry, we offer carefully guided, medically supervised tapering plans that slowly reduce medication and help limit withdrawal symptoms like increased anxiety, sleeplessness, muscle tightness, and trouble with focus or memory.
Our approach combines expert psychiatric care with functional and holistic medicine to support your brain and body during the withdrawal process. In addition to medical management, we offer psychotherapy—including trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral therapies—to address the emotional and psychological aspects of dependence. Participation in support groups and community-based programs further strengthens recovery by reducing isolation, fostering resilience, and providing ongoing encouragement throughout your journey.
Treatment for Marijuana Dependency
While marijuana is often perceived as less addictive than other substances, some individuals develop a dependence that can significantly interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. Treatment at Virginia Integrative Psychiatry involves a personalized approach, combining counseling, behavioral therapy, and medication when clinically appropriate.
Our specialists work closely with each client to manage withdrawal symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and address co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or stress-related disorders. By providing comprehensive, individualized care, we support clients in regaining control over their lives and achieving long-term recovery.
Alcoholism Treatment
Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease affecting millions. Effective treatment is multi-faceted, starting with medically supervised detoxification when necessary to safely manage withdrawal symptoms like tremors, seizures, and delirium tremens. Virginia Integrative Psychiatry then provides ongoing counseling, support groups like AA, and medication options such as naltrexone or acamprosate that reduce cravings and relapse risks.
Therapies focus on rebuilding healthier habits, repairing relationships, and addressing root causes such as trauma or mental health disorders. Integrated care ensures that physical, emotional, and psychological needs are met for sustainable sobriety.
Addressing Sex Addiction
Sex addiction is characterized by compulsive sexual behaviors that cause distress or impair functioning. Virginia Integrative Psychiatry’s treatment includes individualized therapy to explore underlying trauma, anxiety, or mood disorders contributing to the addiction. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps patients modify unhealthy patterns and develop emotional regulation skills.
Group therapy and peer support are valuable in reducing shame and building accountability. Our compassionate clinicians provide a safe space for healing that respects each individual’s journey toward recovery.
Gambling Addiction Treatment
Gambling addiction can profoundly disrupt lives, leading to uncontrollable betting behavior despite serious financial, social, and emotional consequences. Treatment at Virginia Integrative Psychiatry combines evidence-based behavioral therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, with thorough psychiatric evaluation and medication when appropriate to help manage impulse control and address associated mood or anxiety disorders.
Our specialists also provide relapse prevention strategies and connect clients with community resources, supporting the rebuilding of financial stability and strengthening social support networks. By offering comprehensive, individualized care, we help clients regain control over their behaviors, restore healthy relationships, and achieve sustainable long-term recovery.
