Substance Abuse Treatment Centers for Couples in Virginia

Most inpatient rehab centers do not accept couples at the same time for various reasons. One of the major reasons that rehabs do not want to accept couples together is that the person who is going through addiction should be treated alone to work on his or her problem, and having their spouse there can make things more difficult. However, there are some rehab centers that have been developing programs and therapy methods to help couples treat at the same time.

Battling addiction together through a couple’s rehab in Virginia can have many benefits for those seeking to enter treatment together. Couples that have an addiction problem share some of the same triggers that work to continue the addictive cycle. Handling these triggers together can help lay the foundation for long-lasting recovery.

It is sometimes beneficial for clients to go to treatment further away from home. Getting away from temptations and friends who may still be using is often better for many people. Clients who go to rehab in another state also have a harder time leaving treatment early as well. Depending on the situation, our counselors may suggest looking for substance abuse programs that are a plane flight away.

How are couples rehab programs different?

When couples are suffering from their addiction together, getting them help together can be the answer you are looking for. You will be able to:

*Stay with your partner while undergoing treatment together.

*Share the experience of attending couples group therapy sessions.

*Improve your relationship while undergoing treatment for a substance use disorder.

*Get sober together and have the tools to remain sober together.

You can start your couples therapy or enter a rehab facility in Virginia that accepts couples today. We can help save you time and frustration by giving you options for treatment that will accept couples into their drug rehabilitation program.

Do couples rehab programs work?

Couples inpatient drug rehab centers work best when both parties entering treatment are in full agreement that they want to start their sobriety together. Married couples or partners who go to treatment together will be able to offer each other support while having the advantage of attending the same program. This will help each other stay accountable to the other partner, and through love and commitment, they will succeed.

Partners and spouses who go to a recovery center together can have an advantage over single people entering programs by being able to recognize triggers and moods that can lead to relapse. When a married couple attends a substance abuse treatment program together, they have the advantage of being able to understand each other’s triggers while learning about their own. By working together in recovery, they can support each other through these triggered moments and know exactly what the other is going through.  This can help each of them understand the process that can lead to relapse for them and help them avoid those situations in the future. This will be a great motivator for both people to remain sober.

Detox for couples

When couples or partners decide it is time to stop using drugs or alcohol and seek help together, the first step is a couples-friendly detox center in Virginia. Detox programs allow couples to stay together while safely detoxing from drugs or alcohol. Going to detox does not guarantee that you will feel no withdrawal symptoms, but with medication-managed withdrawal, the patients will feel comfortable during the process. Detox should take about 7 days on average for most cases.

Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT)

Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) is a treatment type specifically designed for couples and partners who are struggling with addiction and addictive behaviors to reduce substance misuse by restructuring dysfunctional couple interactions that are helping to sustain the addiction. Patients who participate in BCT have reported higher levels of relationship satisfaction and more improvements in other areas of the relationship and family functioning, including intimate partner violence and children’s psychological adjustment.

Will insurance cover couples’ addiction treatment programs in Virginia?

Most insurance plans cover rehab and detoxification and will pay for some or all of your treatment, depending on your policy. When going to rehab as a couple, there is no difference in insurance payouts if you were to go to two separate rehabs together. So, the answer is yes, insurance will pay for you and your partner or spouse to go to the same rehab if you are both insured.

Aftercare programs for couples

Couples that have completed a rehab center program together have already achieved a huge accomplishment in the first steps to long-term recovery. Once an inpatient treatment program has been completed, the work doesn’t stop there. Aftercare programs are usually the next step in the recovery process, which will help with the transition from being in a controlled environment to returning home to some of the same triggers and temptations that were there before. With an aftercare program set up prior to leaving rehab, the couple can have support and continued care to help them transition back to their lives without relapsing.
