Therapies & Programs
Group therapy is an important tool in recovery. Finding a peer group in Richmond, VA and others who relate to your situation is a fundamental tool for recovery at SAARA of Virginia. Addiction tends to lead to isolation and feelings of uniqueness. The accountability and friendship that is found in group therapy can be more effective than any single other treatment approach. This is generally introduced early in recovery and is recommended as a lifetime treatment habit.
Rehabilitation is not just limited to bringing an individual out of addiction and achieving sobriety. It is considered complete only when an individual starts leading a normal and balanced life. Life skill therapy focuses on the various skills that help an individual to lead a normal life. Patients often do not take care of themselves, struggle professionally, and withdraw from social interaction due to addiction’s physical and emotional disturbances.
Life skills therapy helps people in Virginia improve various personal, professional, and social skills such as cooking healthy meals, maintaining proper hygiene, budgeting, decision-making, time management, regulation of emotions, and effectively resolving interpersonal conflicts.

Richmond, Virginia Addiction and Treatment
The state of Virginia has been struggling with substance use and abuse like the rest of the United States. A little over 10% of the entire Virginia population uses drugs and almost 5% abuse alcohol every given year. This has led to almost 6.5% of all deaths in Virginia being somehow related to alcohol and/or drugs.
Richmond, the capital of Virginia, offers a rich history, outdoor activities, and cultural attractions for locals and visitors alike. The city boasts trails at the Richmond National Battlefield Park, the stunning Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and the renowned Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. However, Richmond has been grappling with the opioid epidemic, with fentanyl being a major contributor to overdose deaths in the area, and Chesterfield County experiencing a rise in opioid and poly-substance use.
