The Well

They treat people at inpatient residential, outpatient and telemedicine. Outpatient keeps you at home and working, and a residential stay takes you out of the place you were using in.

No. There is no detox listed near Norfolk at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Norfolk send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Norfolk.

They prescribe naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Norfolk offers both.

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Cost is a reasonable thing to lead with, and nobody answering a treatment line will be surprised by it.

Both get treated together at the programs that do this properly, by one team. A diagnosis made during active use is often revised later, so an early label is not the final word. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.

Treatment that involves the household tends to hold up better than treatment that does not. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what the family part of the program is called and who runs it, because that shows how seriously it is treated.
