Groups Recover Together Richmond

Located on Turner Road in south Richmond, the program is just a few minutes from the Chippenham Square shopping area. As an outpatient site, it serves people through scheduled visits instead of having them live at the building. That suits someone with a stable place to sleep who wants treatment alongside work or family duties.

Care centers on medication-assisted treatment for opioid use. A clinician evaluates each person, manages medication, and pairs that with weekly group sessions. Counselors also build individual relapse-prevention plans. Intake can often start over the phone or online, which shortens the gap between a call and a first appointment.

This site belongs to a group of 10 centers operating in Virginia and opened in 2014. Programming is conducted in English, and both men and women are enrolled. Staff describe their work as trauma informed, which shapes how groups handle anger, grief and past harm.

This center provides one level of care: outpatient. There are no overnight stays or on-site detox. If someone requires round-the-clock monitoring, a higher level of care in Virginia should come first. Medication-assisted treatment is the core, using FDA-approved medication to ease withdrawal and reduce craving while counseling does the rest.

Therapy options include one-on-one counseling, group therapy and online therapy. Groups meet weekly and cover topics such as anger management. When a person has both a substance use disorder and trauma, a trauma informed approach can help groups feel safer. The program treats opioid, heroin and prescription drug use. Family members are not listed as a treated population, so ask how relatives can be involved.

Duration, size, and language options

Typical program length is 30 days, though outpatient care often continues longer depending on progress. If you need a program that fits around work, ask how groups are scheduled Monday through Thursday. The building has one photo in its listing, and a telehealth option is available on Tuesday. Sessions are in English. There is no residential housing here, so plan transportation from wherever the person lives in the Richmond area.

Paying for care at this Richmond center

The listing shows cash pay rates as the payment option, so ask for the current fee schedule before the first visit. Insurance is not listed as confirmed, and coverage for outpatient medication-assisted treatment varies by plan. Before booking, ask which plans they bill and what a 30-day course costs out of pocket. The helpline can help check whether Virginia Medicaid or a private plan applies. No one can promise coverage until benefits are verified.
