Centra Health Inc - VA Baptist Hospital In Patient

Specialized Care for Pregnant and Postpartum Women

The center offers specialized services for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use and mental health needs. Care may include group work with peers, regular individual counseling, and treatment planning that considers both parent and baby. Referrals are accepted from community providers such as obstetricians, social workers, and local agencies, helping patients connect to care as early as possible. Perinatal services are also provided.

Hospital Inpatient Detox and Residential Treatment

Within Centra Virginia Baptist Hospital, this program provides hospital inpatient care for adults who need close medical monitoring while addressing substance use. Patients can be admitted for withdrawal management and acute stabilization, with access to nursing care, medical providers, and mental health support around the clock. The center also offers short-term residential treatment. Patients follow a full-day schedule of therapy, education, and recovery-focused activities aimed at building daily routines and coping skills. Individual, group, and family counseling are available.

Integrated Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Support

Many patients arrive with both substance use and mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. The program is designed to address both at the same time. Patients receive comprehensive assessments, substance use counseling, and mental health services under one roof. Dedicated tracks support people who have experienced trauma, intimate partner violence, or sexual abuse, helping them begin recovery in an environment that prioritizes safety.

Practical Services That Reduce Barriers to Care

Patients can receive testing and education related to HIV, hepatitis, and other health conditions, along with recommended vaccinations. Case management, housing services, and help connecting to social services address some of the practical challenges that can disrupt treatment. Transportation assistance helps patients access care, and aftercare planning with outcome follow-up supports the move from inpatient or residential care back into the community. The facility offers services for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)

Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available for alcohol and opioid use disorders, used together with counseling and behavioral therapies. The program also provides medications for mental health conditions and support for tobacco cessation. Some patients may receive MAT directly through the hospital, while others continue medications prescribed by outside providers.
