Colonial Behavioral Health - Williamsburg, VA

About Colonial Behavioral Health

Colonial Behavioral Health is a community behavioral health agency in Williamsburg, Virginia, serving individuals and families affected by substance use disorders, mental illness, and developmental disabilities. Their care is person-centered and built around recovery and self-determination, with services spanning childhood through adulthood. For adults struggling with alcohol or drugs, they offer individual and group outpatient counseling, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, and peer recovery support. A 24/7 crisis team also works with local hospitals and first responders to connect people with outpatient or inpatient care when urgent help is needed.

Their IOP is an ASAM Level 2.1, co-occurring enhanced program for adults 18 and older, so people with more serious mental health conditions receive individualized planning alongside addiction treatment. Drawing on the bio-psycho-social model, the 12-step framework, and other abstinence-based approaches, the program runs six to eight weeks, with group sessions three times a week totaling at least nine hours, plus weekly drug screening, family involvement, and individual counseling, psychiatric care, or case management as needed. It can serve as a first step into recovery or as a step-down after inpatient treatment. Their MAT clinic provides office-based opioid withdrawal management with buprenorphine (Suboxone) or naltrexone paired with counseling, an option considered safe during pregnancy, while Peer Recovery Specialists with lived experience help clients build wellness plans, connect with groups like AA and NA, and offer support in the emergency room and after hospital discharge.
